And the winner is….
Congratulations to Baldemar V. for winning 1st place in the T-shirt contest!

Your votes have placed $500.00 in his pocket…but there’s more.
You’re votes have also placed $500.00 in the pocket of James P. who takes 2nd Place.

The final public vote count between the two T-shirts were:
-
Baldemar: 300 Votes
-
James: 282 Votes
582 Votes for both of these T-shirts [out of 822 Total Votes!]
Thanks so much for taking the time to help me pick a winner!
I planned on having just 1 winner but this was SO close and both T-shirts were pretty much tied throughout the week with Baldemar having a slight edge over James. I also received tons of email from people saying that they liked one over the other and why….etc..
And so…BOTH will be made into T-shirts in the next few weeks and you’ll be able to buy your favorite (or both). I suppose the true test will be which one sells more but the "official" word is Image 1 takes 1st place. I’ll be sending out a mailer soon to let you know when the T-shirts will be available to purchase. I hope you all show some support and buy the shirts so I’ll be able to have more contests like this down the road.
Let me also say that even though these two designs took a big lead, Sarah’s design still raked in 140 votes (which is pretty nice!).
Thanks again to everyone who submitted and congrats to 1st and 2nd place!

OH WOW! I did NOT expect to win anything for 2nd place! This is great news! Thanks Bob and to the voters!
yeah…just an 18 vote difference…you both are winners for sure! Thanks for taking the time!
Don’t feel bad, James… being second place, runner up, so to speak, is not a bad thing… a lot of people liked your submission BEST, me included. Congratulations on tying for first place… you have a great eye!
I think you should do some kind of Bob Gentry Name That Tune contest next time for those of us lacking artistic skill. I can name that Bob Gentry tune in one note.
Fun!
yeah…i need to turn my blog into a Game Show
Can’t wait until the shirt hits the fans!:razz:
