PROTOTYPE CONTEST VOTING NOW OPEN!! Revote - PLEASE COME TAKE PART!

[Marita Winters]

ATTENTION: I had to redo the voting because there were a couple artists who had the chance to do a prototype since the contest opened. So when I went to remove the entries, the whole poll erased! I am so sorry. Please, if you can find the time, come in and vote again. Thank you!!!

Voting will be open starting the 19th and will end on Saturday, March 25th.

Below are entries for the prototype contest. Please be sure to scroll all the way down to see the last few as well as the first ones so everyone has an equal chance of winning. There are 14 entries, so it will not take long. Each member may vote for their 2 favorites.

Please vote taking into consideration: the painting, the rooting and the photography, as these are the three things that are pertinent to a good prototype. Please help me by choosing the very best, rather than because the doll belongs to your best friend Thank you!

Goodness, this is not going to be easy! They are all so wonderful. Good luck to all!

[Marita Winters]

I am trying to put up the voting poll right now. Having a few issues with it, so am trying to figure it out! LOL!

[Marita Winters]

Okay, Steve fixed it for me so everything is up and running. You may notice that numbers 8 and 10 are missing. These two withdrew because they had done prototypes since my contest started. Please vote for these ladies. I will be so proud to use two of you for my next prototypes. You painted some BEAUTIFUL babies! Thank you!!!

I noticed several artist have their names written on the pictures

[Marita Winters]

Yes, it isn't a secret contest. When I started it, I just had the people add their photos on my thread. So some had names on them and some did not. I figured the ladies here would choose those that they honestly like best without names influencing them.

WOW!!!! So many beautiful babies!!! They all look like winners to me! It was very hard to narrow it down to just 2!!!
Congratulations to all of you!!! Amazing works of art!!!

Good luck to everyone! All are very beautiful. I wish I could have participated but by the time the contest was back on I had been fortunate to have done a couple prototypes. x

Just voted. All of them are beautiful and done so well.

I spent quite a bit of time narrowing it down and deciding and at the end there were 3 I really wanted to vote for. It was extremely hard to only pick 2 because IMO all 3 were equally amazing.

Best of luck to everyone who entered and thanks to the people who did. Also thanks to Marita for having this contest. I'm not an artist but what a wonderful opportunity she is giving to people who are. Such a sweet thing to do and also so much fun for all of us here to get to vote and have some input on a hobby that we love. I'll be watching for when the prototypes come out!

[Marita Winters]

I agree! SO difficult to pick just 2!

[LindaBforbabies]

Many beautiful babies... hard to pick just 2.. can't wait to see which artists get to do the prototypes and also the finish product... thanks Marita for doing this... good luck ladies!

[Marita Winters]

I have had to remove 2 more artists who have done a prototype since the contest opened. They are awesome artists!

[Marita Winters]
