Welcome, Ladies and Gentlemen, to this year's Dodge & Burn Awards. I see Jack Nicholson is here, or at least the ape that has been injected with his DNA is. Oh look, there's Joan River's head. Still doesn't look a day over 500, isn't she amazing?
[/Billy Crystal voice. Think Futurama.]

Well, we had a pretty good turnout for the voting, and The Judges want to give a big shout-out to all of you who participated. It was a very close race in seven of the nine Manip categories, which was reflected by the spread of the votes. (Every Manip in Best Marvel Babe was voted for at least once!) The Judges appreciate the difficult decisions the voters had to make. Artists, you should feel proud just to have been nominated, because you were in very good company!

We have a few ties, which you will see shortly. The Judges have set up a poll to have a run-off, Here is the link. Nothing like an Election Year, eh?


Avatars for the winners may be created by the artist, created by another artist, or, in the case of the winner already having a Custom Avatar, be handed out to another artist or member. (It's yours to do with as you please.)
