Very hard to decide! I am going to have let them sink in and take a considered view... maybe aided by a mince pie and a small sherry  _________________ Last watched: "The Medicine Men" |

All excellent entries, although seeing them all together I dismissed 7 of them straight away for one reason or another. It's down to a choice of just three for me, I shall sleep on it  |

Congratulations to Avengerholic for the runaway winner of this year's banner competition! I''ve had to optimise it a bit to shrink the file size as the forum now has a lower size limit.
Also, a hearty thanks to Darren, New Doberman, Rhonda and, err, myself for submitting great entries. _________________ Mrs Peel, you're needed!

nice choice...of course, it's not the one I would have selected..but that's moot point. Sadly, only 14 votes ? especially given the size of the forum, and number of members interacting with each other. No matter what, glad to see another holiday banner.... |

yup...everyone was a winner...but there only could be one...unless, say they took turns rotating..every few days....perhaps in an alternative universe. |

How exciting, I'm quite humbled considering there were two or three real corkers to choose from. |

Congratulations, Avengerholic. I voted for yours.
What appealed to me was the more graphical and black and white approach.
I did number 2, I found inspiration rather lacking this year. I think I've used up all my ideas in previous years.
Some great entries.
There was a point when entry numbers out-numbered the votes but thankfully that improved.  |

Thank you Darren, I was looking for something that had a festive look, was related to one of my favourite episodes, but didn't feature any of the characters. Personally I'd grown tired of seeing the leads featured every year. |

I don't know if everyone wants to own up but Avengerholic did 1 & 9, Darren has said he did 2, and I did 5.
3,4,6, & 7 were all by the mysterious Mr Blonde and 8 & 10 were by Mr Pink.
I'll leave it up to them to reveal who they were but it's easy to work out, really. _________________ Mrs Peel, you're needed!

They all look great. Unfortunately, I haven't been on line much recently so missed the opportunity to vote. If I had I'd have probably voted for 7, but it would have been a tough choice! The winner is great though. _________________ Old account paulpdjh |

Piers thanks for running the competition and the makers for their creativity.
1 is an excellent winner, stylish b&w.
2 I love for memorializing Honor and Diana
3, 6, 7 are my personal favourites,
but impressed by all of them. |
