As a reminder, our grand prize winner (grand prize: the badge; yes, we're fancy around here with our prizes) can't win again for another three months. For those who won an Honorable Mention, you didn't get the badge; therefore, you have no waiting period.

Our next contest is Friday, Nov. 6! Come back then!
