And now time to vote!

The Rules: Please send your selections to the VOTE account, here. Take a moment to review the guidelines on how to vote found in this thread. And, of course, please read all the entries before voting. Good luck, everyone!

The Timing: Voting begins now, and will continue until Noon Saturday, June 30th (US Eastern Standard Time).

• Best Single Item (The single item you most would be interested in bringing into your campaign immediately; for this award, just choose ONE from someone's list to vote for.)
• Funniest Overall Entry
• Funniest Single Item (The single item you found most amusing; having this a separate item allows you to include a single amusing element without going for a whole funny concept.)

Anolus Demetrion's Collection by ringsnake (Rookie Entry)

The Caveat: Please make sure your links are properly named, attributed, and go to where you want them to (usually the first post in your entry thread). Also, if you are a rookie entrant, please make sure I designated you properly. Thanks.

[The Demented One]

Congratulations to the winners! Nice work all!

Please remember when voting to vote for someone in each category (or abstain in a specific category) - don't just send an email that says "I vote for X entry." Also, there were less votes than entries.

[The Demented One]

Yay! This was a really fun contest; thanks for picking it.

[Dorizzit]

I agree with the Demented One. The Contest was fun, and some of the entries were superb.

[Fax Celestis]

I just wish I could've finished mine. Oh well.

[GryffonDurime]

o-o.

Wow. Amazing. I guess using a giant flower as a library is funnier than I thought.

[ringsnake]

Crap!

Oh well.

[DraPrime]

Great contest. Too bad that I never actually was able to finish mine.

[The Glyphstone]

^Absolute truth. Finals picked the worst time possible to come up on me...ah well - another month, another contest...

Best Single Item
Fayrell's Conservatory by Duke of URL

Out of curiosity, which specific item?

Also, there were less votes than entries.

I'll plead guilty -- I came down sick late in the week and never got around to finishing a critical review of all of the entires in time for the voting deadline.

[Roland St. Jude]

Out of curiosity, which specific item?

The only vote that stated specifically which item said, The Roster of Legends.

Ideally, voters would specify both the Entry name and the item name. That doesn't usually happen.

[AngelSword]

Wow, I won a contest! I wonder which item it was. Unfortunately, I didn't know that voting had begun, and missed out on doing so.

Thank you to whomever voted for me.
