Well well well!!! The results are quite interesting, and I think very representative of the quality of entries - Overall, we had 2 way ties in all the 1st 3 places!!
Firstly, let me say how I counted. Firstly I counted the votes/choices per category for each entry. So I've got totals per entry for Relevance, Originality and Quality. Then I added up these totals per entry. So I've also got overall (Relevance +Quality +Originality) totals. I might post the highest per category later for interest sake, but for now, lets get to the important part!!
(Drumroll....excitement building....and....)

Congratulations to all of you! I've updated the gallery to show the order of the first 3 places, the rest of the entries will stay in alphabetical order as it is now. And as Gordon noticed, I've added the entrant's name to every entry.
