Thank you all for making this a great contest. Congratulations to all who entered. It takes a lot to put your ideas in front of others knowing they will be judged and voted on. Great contest this year.
I will be working on prize distribution over the weekend and will be in contact the winners.

Thank you!

Thanks so much for your votes. It was fun cutting up bits of Brooks to cast in resin. I really thought of the name first and it amused me greatly!

All the entries were awesome.

Thanks to the bash for the contest. It was a lot of fun!
