There were a ton of great entries every week, and the entries for the last challenge in particular were amazing. I reread all the entries a bunch of times just for fun, as I was hesitant to start the inevitable task of reading them critically and somehow picking out 3 favorites. I ended up having 2 super-favorites, and 4 others that were right behind. I couldn't decide based solely on rereading them over and over, so I had to take a step back and make a mental list of what was most important, and I was eventually able to choose #3. As was the case every prior week, if my top 5 (or in this week's case, 6) entries hadn't been submitted, or I was for some reason barred from voting for them, I would feel fine about voting for my next 3 favorite entries. For the final week's entries that was true several times over.
There were so many great entries each week, I think the 3 winnners will have gotten the most votes not necessarily because their entries were better than everyone else's, but probably because their sense of humor, things they focused on, and interests appealed the most to the other voters. I guess that's pretty obvious, though.
Regardless of who the top 3 vote getters are, I predict the following 2 things will be true:
1. Everyone will agree that the 3 winners are very deserving.
2. Everyone will agree that there are other people who were just as deserving of winning, although we'll probably disagree on who among the non-winners was most deserving.
In any event, it was an awesome contest, and I look forward to next year's contest!
