I want new favourites.

Contest is Over

• Contest was judged on December 2, 2008
• Rewards: Gold: 400
• Final notes:
  I wish I could have given more awards, seriously. All of the finalists are simply amazing. The top three all deserve gold, in my opinion. But anyway.
  
  thanks a bunch for entering! I'll be adding all the finalists to my favourites, I think. ^^
