One: VOTING

Whew! This was definitely a challenge for me, and from reading the posts, it sounds like it was a rough one for each of you, too. But that's what we're about here, right? Getting out of our comfort zones.

Okay, we're changing up the voting today. No more "best take" category. The category will probably change with each challenge (we haven't quite ironed out all the kinks yet), but for today, your two categories will be MOST ORIGINAL and BEST OVERALL.

Please be sure to submit your votes like this:

Most original:
Best overall:
Shoutouts:

Also please don't vote this time around for Jackie or Mindy, as they both won the honors in the last challenge.

Until midnight, then.
