[skipper]

NUBS GOT TALENT!
ROUND 11
OK folks and fellow Brothers of the Studio (BOTS)
THIS IS IT!!
Here are your 2 final finalists!



In round 1, Creativity, we lost a very worthy entry, Charlie (sorry Charlie)
In round 2, Photographic Quality, we lost a very worthy entry, CTHOSK1
In round 3, Originality, we sadly lost another worthy entry, Stubby's True Story
In Round 4, NUB PRESENTATION, we lost what is my favorite entry, Toolman's SANDBOX
In Round 5, DIFFICULTY, we so sadly lost NUB AND BEER...THE FINER THINGS IN THE UNIVERSE By WTFDIC
In round 6, we voted on EYE APPEAL and sadly lost another of my favorites and a great entry, Standing King by Load
In round 7, we brought back one of the 8 entries that were voted off.
In round 8, we brought in some new talent (well, a new entry form an old entrant)
In round 9, we brought in some new/old talent and lost a very impressive photo CAINDLE
In round 10, we lost wtfdic and his "NUB AND BEER...THE FINER THINGS IN THE UNIVERSE"

This vote will be the simplest. Simply vote for your favorite. Your rules, your guidelines, your choice. Vote your favorites!

In the event of a tie, we will hold a vote (48 hour poll) with just the tying entries to eliminate 1.
If at the end of the tie breaker it's still a tie, both entries will be eliminated or both will stay, my choice.

This Poll will be up for 5 days ending on the Monday after Easter 4/25

PLEASE VOTE for one of the TWO LAST entries below!

[Jimmie The Mum]

Last day voters are giving mean Joe the edge.

[skipper]

Nub America has chosen...

CONGRATULATIONS MEAN JOE!!!

The longest contest in the history of the site, the most involved, you survived 11 rounds of eliminations to emerge as the chosen entry!
You have won yourself a beautiful (& very hard to get) Cain humidor!
To all of the other entries, thanks for playing. You guys were great. Your entries were fantastic and your spirit extraordinary. Many of you will be receiving prizes for your entries. I haven't decided what or how many yet.

I tried to keep my comments to a minimum as I didn't want anyone saying anything wasn't fair, but my favorite all along was toolmans desert storm. That was the most badass and extraordinary nub stand in the history of the site! Bar none!
In a close second I love BRCrane's REVOLUTIONIZE. The work that went into that with all of it's intricate detail...

Having said that, the majority ruled and given all the voting criteria, I think the best entry over-all did in fact win.

Again, congrats to you all. Mean Joe, congrats to you!

[Jimmie The Mum]

Congrts Mean Joe and everyone else for entering.

[Mean Joe]

Thanks Skipper and thanks Jimmie....and Thanks to the talented people here on Nublive who entered:
Load
Charlie
Cthosk1
Stubby
Toolman
wtfdic
and of course BrCrane.

Like skipper just said this was the longest contest in Nublive's short history and it felt like it! Thanks to those who voted for me and for those who didn't, thanks for voting for your favorite! This community is the best place to be as far as I am concerned and I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks also to Studio Tobac and Oliva for such a great prize!! I will cherish it forever!!

I'll let you guys know when I send it out.
