Congrats to ALL winners, runners-up, and Everyone who participated!

iori, TOASTY, and niteboy82 ... Well Done!

iori - The animation makes that classic Jack-O-Lantern "come alive". Kudos2U

TOASTY - There's a lot going on there, and it's Very spooky and halloween-ish.

niteboy82 - The irony alone put yours near the top of my list. He who hates "clowns" has one as his avatar, bushy yet!? [how'd you like your login screen this morning?]

I wasn't one of the judges for this competition, but perhaps we can arrange and organize More holiday-related Avvie contests.

My only recommendation would be that future contests be more organized, advertised, and promoted within the membership.

While we saw the efforts of Many talented artists, here, I think there are many More who may have participated, if afforded more advance notice.

Nonetheless, dgtempe, you had a good idea, and the Halloween avatar contest drew Many excellent submissions.

Hats-Off to ya ... or better yet, tonight, Heads-Off! Muahahahaha

Well if it's any consolation, your wife did a very good job!

She's a winner in my book!

Wow!

I just saw this getting home from volunteering, and was like "omg!"

Congrats Iori (love it!) and Toasty! (spooooooky!)

Also, the other avatars totally rocked! Once again shows how many awesomely creative folks we have on this one site.

A Turkey Day one, eh? I can't wait!

Btw, DG, you got a WATS vote from me. I thought this was a great idea, and a totally fun escape to play with. I think further holiday ones would be an excellent idea!

Why she says thank you but the real winners are all the people here who have kids that went out trick or treating tonight because you see i know just how much candy my kids have and all they know is they got a bag full so it is easy pickings.

Congrats goes out to all Iori, Toasty & Niteboy!

If I were judging, I probably would have gone for Xeros...but hey,

EDIT:
Oh yeah, and thanks to dgtempe for organising the event!

Congratulations to Iori, TOASTY and niteboy82! Great avatars
And I agree, should be more contests like this, not just of official holidays but "unofficials" too.

Anyway, great contest!
Hugs to everybody

Congratulations to the each winner! Job well done!

Deffinately would be interested in other holiday avatar contests! Contests such as these are not only fun, but let people show their creativity!

three great avvies,
congrats to all.

And a special congrats to dgtempe for the idea
