The Poppies: Jury's Choice Winners!



The ballots are counted and we are pleased to announce today the winners of the First Annual "Jury's Choice" Poppies! Lots of thought and detail went into each choice from the amazing group of jurors that hunkered down this past week to pick. It was a rather daunting process (if you were noticing the amount of nominations) but each juror took careful consideration to pick their favorite 3 in each category, and then the highest numbered choices were again gathered into a poll under each category to create the following results! Congratulations to everyone, and a HUGE thank you to our jury, Lisa Solomon, Kate Bingaman-Burt, Faythe Levine, Victoria Smith, Andrea Jenkins, Irene Hoofs and Jen Anisef. Please note the Overall Favourite Artist Winner will be announced next week, as we wait for the jury to finish voting.

We know the winners are honoured to be chosen by such talent themselves! Each 1st prize winner will receive the following:

1.A one month's free participation at Poppytalk Handmade
2. A "The Poppies (Jury's Choice)" banner/button for your site or blog!
3. A one year's text link from the Poppytalk blog's main page under "The Poppies" category


So without further ado, we present the "Jury's Choice" winners! Congratulations everyone!
