2022 Bash Entries - is it just me?

[MRDucks2]

This is only my 5th Birthday Bash, but thinking back over the past 5 years, the overall quality of all entries seems to be elevated compared to the previous 4 years.

There have always been great entries and I can't speak to years prior to 2018. But it seems both the quality and variation have been quite pleasing this this year. Is it just me or do you agree?

 

[Joebobber]

I totally agree. It has been almost impossible to vote for a winner in some of these.

 

[Sly Dog]

Agree! I was especially blown away by the kitless entries. Incredible!

I can't speak to previous bash contests as this is my first time. Perhaps the competition is combination of new blood joining the fold in addition to people growing in their mastery of their skill.
