scratzilla1: GONDOLA" a traditional flat bottom boat. GONDOLA: lift commonly called a cable car. . " hang a gondola from it" which turn does CONDOLA in this contest refer to? thanks. ( 5 years and 3025 days ago )

pearlie: Very good question, scratzilla, I can understand your confusion. An explanation from wiki: "A hot air balloon consists of a bag called the envelope that is capable of containing heated air. Suspended beneath is a gondola or wicker basket (in some long-distance or high-altitude balloons, a capsule), which carries passengers and (usually) a source of heat, in most cases an open flame." Link is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_air_balloon . MossyB, is your idea to use only a SINGLE ITEM and then give it a gondola? Also, are these to be TRADITIONALLY SHAPED balloons?

scratzilla1: Thanks Pearlie, Thought Gondola reference was to the Wicker Basket, however, artistic creations do not always go with traditional constructs. ( 5 years and 3025 days ago )
Contest Moderator: No, the the balloons do not need to be "traditionally shaped", there are many unusual shaped hot air balloons these days, have a look at http://www.damncoolpictures.com/2007/05/crazy-hot-air-balloons.html ( 5 years and 3021 days ago )
pearlie: Yes, but they ALL have a gondola - unlike a couple of entries in this contest. *ahem* As the contest suggests, 'hang a gondola from it'... ( 5 years and 3020 days ago )
Contest Moderator: Any entry submitted after 2000hrs GMT Friday 16th September will be removed. ( 5 years and 3017 days ago )

My first thought for this contest was to wake a lightbulb balloon! This just seemed like a very steam punk-ish thing to do so I ran with that :) (5 years and 3019 days ago)
