Welcome to the first annual Banner Contest @ Images and Words.
First let me thank you all, and my apologies that we could only pick 10 finalists. All of your banners were fantastic. The banners are being posted in alphabetical order as well as the poll.The poll will be open until Sunday at 6:00 PM EST . I will then be changing the banner by Monday morning. We will be randomly changing the banners roughly every 2 weeks after that. Until everyone's has been posted here.... Thanks again....Joel

Awesome! Thanks for including me!
ReplyDeletethis was easy.....got it narrowed down to 5!!! ROFL
ReplyDeleteWonderful entries. Thanks for including me also. It's an honor just to be on the list.
ReplyDeleteI must admit I get on THE LIST often....but it's not honorable...we must be talking of 2 different lists? rofl
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteLMAO. that's rich.
ReplyDeleteall wonderful
ReplyDelete6 votes in and 150 more to go.... It would be awesome if we could get everyone here to vote.
ReplyDeletethis is brilliant love them all, eventually found my fav
ReplyDeletewell done to all who made it into the top 10
I can only pick one favorite? I love them so much!!!! I can't pick just one! It's like picking a favorite child.
ReplyDeleteoh this is going to be so hard
Come Sunday we'll be needing a couple cases of this!
ReplyDeleteHelp!! I've only narrowed it down to ten so far!!! LOL.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for including my entry in the poll.
All amazing entries....what a f-f-f-f-flippin' talented bunch!!!
i voted.. wasnt easy.. all so good
ReplyDeletecongrats everyone...several of my favs are here ♥
ReplyDeleteThanks so very much for having included my entry in the poll. I feel honoured, indeed! Congratulations to everyone who posted an entry. Special congratulations to all those whose entries are on the list.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all - they're all beautiful :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats everyone! It was really hard to narrow this down to 10, they were all so great, so don't think yours wasn't good enough if it wasn't included in the 10.
ReplyDeleteDon't they all look so fantastic sitting up there? I am glad we have the video with all the banners displayed because the effort and creativity presented by everyone who entered, is out standing.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to those nominated in the top ten. Well done.
Congratulations to all the top 10.
ReplyDeleteYou did an awesome job.
Everyone who entered did a great job.
Doing video's is a great idea.
That might be good for another time like
a contest or something.?
Congrats to all 10, It is very hard to choose only one, all are wonderful
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why you are "randomly changing the banners every two weeks after that." Aren't we voting on a new, permanent banner? If you're just going to rotate the top 10, why are we voting, at all?
ReplyDeletethanks , Virginia for asking this!! I wondered the same. Is the vote to pick the best out of the top 10? And if so, why? ** I'm confused....LOL**
ReplyDeleteWe will be rotating them and then going back to the first one..That is if it is okay with you. Why sweat the small things !!!!
ReplyDeleteJoel....it was only a question. Wasn't a case of "sweating anything"
ReplyDeleteI can't speak for Virginia...but I was confused over the poll. If the banners were going to be rotated anyway.then why do a vote? Why not just ROTATE all entries? Do you see where one MIGHT like to ask to get a clearer picture? sorry!!
I started this group for a fun thing for people to do. I plan on keeping it that way. This is not a soapbox had I known two weeks ago and several hours of my time later it would have ended up that way. I would not have had a banner contest or video. Please remember we have an open door policy.
ReplyDeleteAnd it is.... as a matter of fact, of all the groups I'm in, this is my absolute favorite. You did a great job with the banner contest....
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's been a lot of hard work. Seriously, it was a question arising out of curiosity, perhaps a little ambiguity. Nothing serious. You picked out 10 great ones, and my favorites are among them. I can't ask for anything more.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea to rotate them. So many people put so much time and effort into these. I know I, for one am excited that no matter what the outcome, i'll have my time up there. I think it's great encouragement and I certainly had fun doing it.
ReplyDeleteJoel, thank you for all your hard work.. Now about that finger, wha'cha expecting to find up there?
ReplyDeleteThey all look great and the video is awesome! Great job, Joel :-)
ReplyDeleteI think there's been a bit of a learning curve here. First we agreed that it would be a great idea to have contest for a new permanent banner, but then when ALL of the entries were awesome there was a bit of, "Aw, heck, let's just use them all and rotate them."
Ah, it's tight between Vic and Lanie, will we see these two friends battle it out to the finish line?
ReplyDeleteA nail biter for sure lol...
Lol Vic they say there is gold up there in them hills
ReplyDeleteLMAO!
ReplyDeleteUgh, men!
LOL Joel is soooooo bad!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, Joel you can post that photo in the "Gold theme challenge" at Picture This then ha ha!

ReplyDeleteThey are all wonderful. It is great to see what comes from the creativity in this group. I see it over and over again that in inspires too. I am grateful mine made it in the top ten, and look forward to many more fun challenges to come here.
