Some tough choices. Too bad we only get to pick one. Good luck to all the contestants.

Well, this is interesting. The tube-on and embedded contests have votes from twice as many people as the color contest. Maybe we have a lot of color blind members?????:biggrin:

Hey! I needed to vote more than once.

 

[Buzzzz4]

Ditto. Great casts all around.

 

[longbeard]

How many user names are we allowed to have? lol

 

[Jim15]

That was really hard.

How many user names are we allowed to have? lol

I'm sure the IAP will see a spike in memberships over the next few days. I've already got 12 aliases!

 

[Brooks803]

I'm SO glad I'm not judging these this year. Too many great entries. Everyone should be proud of their work!

So far we have 81 voters.

 

[Brooks803]

One pen is in the lead but 2nd, 3rd, and 4th (which is not a prize winning placement) are seperated by 1 vote! Let's get those votes in. The poll closes on the 23rd!

Being somewhat color blind makes this a real PIA.

 

[Ed McDonnell]

One vote apart sounds like a real horse race. Too bad we can't get the action called real time. "As they're heading into the final stretch, it's ***** ahead by a nose....."
