You know how last weeks poll was really close? Well this one wasn't. The winner won by a clear 20 votes. And you know the best thing, he actually said that he was sure AMS was going to win. Dude, have some confidence ;). Anyway, this weeks winner was Anarchangel for Nightstalker & Entropy. Congrats dude, you probably know the drill by now, go talk to dblade etc. and well done to everyone who entered.

Now, when entries first started coming in for this CDC, I thought it would be the normal fare for the poll, one person runs away with the prize. However, as more and more entries started to come in, I began to think "ok, this one is going to be close". And so it turned out to be. The five finalists where separated by 12 votes, that's 12 votes between places 1 and 5 (to put that in perspective, the previous weeks poll had 12 votes between positions 1 and 2). And if that wasn't enough positions 1 and 2 were separated by 1 vote. Yes, 1 vote. I sorta half wanted to give a vote to second place so we could have a tie, but the poll had closed by the time I got round to writing this and, anyway, that woulda been unfair on the winner, because he thoroughly deserved this win.  And that winner would be CantDraw for his Sci-Fi Angel. Congrats CD, that'd be your 3rd win I believe, please make sure you speak to dblade about your prize. And a hearty congratulations to everyone who entered, especially our finalists, the fact the poll was so close is testament to your creativity and talent.

Note: I don't know if people know this, but if you right click on the pictures in the poll you can open them in full in a new tab. I'd especially advise doing that this week, as the thumbnails don't really do some of these pictures justice.

The winner of this weeks contest also won the contest two weeks ago, although hopefully this time there will be less complaining about her win. So congratulations to Valyndril and her winning piece, Indelible Taint. Please make sure you speak to dblade about your prize Val, and well done to everyone else who entered.

The winner of this weeks poll was Melmo44 for Dark Titan. Congrats Melmo, please speak to dblade about your prize, and well done to everyone who entered, especially the other 4 finalists.

I have to say, the quality of entries for this contest was superb, it was so hard to pick 5 for the poll. You know you've got a good contest when there's people like AMS, Livewyre and Vampyrist not making the final 5.

I'm sure the results of this weeks poll will come as a surprise to absolutely no-one. Once again it was one of those white-wash polls where the winner got more votes than everyone else combined, and this time out I can't say I'm surprised (not to demean the other finalists in any way). But anyway, this weeks winner was Valyndril for Post Apocalyptic Children. Congrats Valyndril, please make sure you speak to dblade about your prize, and well done to everyone who entered.
