Winter 2006-07 Banner Contest - Final Vote!
 

Welcome to the final round. The rules are simple now. 1 grand prize winner and 2 runner ups will be chosen. We promise that the three winners will all be displayed at the top of the forum. (As well as any any others that we choose.) The banner with the highest number of votes will be the grand prize winner. A moderator (Catgirls and Hellychan) may not win the grand prize. No single contestant may win more than once (that means K. Yamato). The poll will close after exactly 7 days of voting. All votes made by people who registered after November 20 (as well as any other votes that I deem improper) will be disqualified to reduce cheating. Polls close automatically so please check the poll for information concerning when it will close in your timezone.

The grand prize is a $35 gift certificate to Amazon.com generously donated by Catgirls.

Without further ado, here are the contestants!

Thank you to all those who nominated me and thanks to NSW for the tedious tabulation of nominations.

Yay, I casted the first vote and it's worth 100%! (for now anyways) :x

Haha just beat me :)

Aw, jedinat's didn't make it through... but never mind! Go go frustra's banner! I'm desparately hoping Ginko makes it to the top 3, and anyway he's such a good character for winter banners..

P.S. I'm totally astoudned that mine even made it here :heh: I thought more people (besides one person) would notice that when you actually put it in the layout it looks terrible cos I didn't smooth it out nicely.
Who cares :p

And I so see one of K. Yamato's winning :)

Well, this was an easy one - only one of my3 favorites made it, so at least i don't have to pull my hair out trying to figure out my favorite :p All hail k.Yamato and Nerine banner :p

really nice work everybody!!!
my Vote has been casted :D

Special thanks to everyone who voted for me. <3 It surprised me, this is the first time I got this many! That means I've improved (well, I hope, anyway)~ :heh:

I'm glad one of my nominations made it. Voting for Riker - 88 again, go go cuteness! :D

That was exactly the same thought of mine, thus my vote is a consequence ;)

Hehe.. Good luck guys ^__^

To be able to go this far .. Thank you very very much.

I have my character loyalty to Suigintou and amusement at the Bottle Faeries, but the Ginko banner just looks more winter than the others. My vote.

Oh darn didn't make it..
Oh well maybe next time.. :D

I voted for Jason, since I think his would look best as banner on top, but for some mysterous reason I want KiNa to win.. ^__^

Best of luck to everyone.. :)

They are all first class! But only one nomination of mine made the finals, and it features Nerine. That makes this vote easy: K. Yamato-42.

Voted for frustra's banner, because I think it looks nice. :)

I think wao's banner actually looks kind of cute/nice, though...

2 of my 3 picks made it so the fun continues, my final answer is Riker - 88 ^^
Good luck to all participants.

I went with slugzillas even though I didn't nominate it. Today at least I decided I wanted a winter banner that had a warm feeling to it. I think all the final banners are great banners but alot of them are too blue.

well my vote goes to leofish-67 cause i love the bg and saber is just stunning :)
congrats to the others who got through! ^_^

Ho-ho-ho... All my nominations made it to the final phase. :)

Even two of my runner-ups are here. :D :D

Same here, it has been my favorite banner since it was first posted. :)

Good luck everyone !!!

WTF! I made it to the finals?:heh: anyway, thanks guys.

and my vote goes to....K. Yamato-44! nice work man, it looks good;)
and good luck to y'all!

There doesn't seem to be a runaway winner this time. Things could get tense. :heh: Gonna save my vote for later in case it stay close.
