AV and voting starts

Okay, voting starts today, how this works is i will create a poll with one selection named "comment to vote" Once you have submitted that leave a comment on my poll with your votes from first to third, make sure it is laid out like this:
1^st. "text"
2^nd. "text"
3^rd. "text"
this is done by adding sup and /sup in triangular brackets.
While you guys are voting me and the other judges will be giving each one a score and critique.
The points from the public voting and judges scores will be added together and the deviation with the highest score will win.

Also i would like to add my new awesomely elegant avatar is courtesy of and has a preview image here - Click me!
