The votes are in, and thanks to all of you who cast votes... nearly 100 people took part in balloting and we appreciate your help. Thanks, also, to our tech admin, Matt, who did the counting by computer with the help of a program he devised that assigns five points to first choice, four to second, and so on, then tallies the point total for each entry number. I then matched each winning number with a name from the master entry list and posted them here.

Since I don't like "single winner take all" contests, we set it up so that we had about two dozen winning entries, including some repeat winners. As announced, no one was allowed to win more than one first prize, or more than one second, or more than one third. This rule only affected Scott, as you can see below. We had some ties, but only in Honorable Mention, which is why some categories have more than five HM's.

Prizes are to be awarded as follows:

1st Place: $25 gift certificate at Barnes and Noble, usable in-store or online.
2nd Place: $15 gift certificate at Barnes and Noble, usable in-store or online.
3rd Place: Six-pack of inkjet printable ironable decal blanks from Avery for dark or colored t-shirts.
Honorable Mention: Recognition and glory! :)

If you are a winner of one of the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd prizes, send a PM to pstewart here at pbase with your name and address and phone number. Your prize will be shipped a few days after receiving your info.
