I hope to get some time this week to catch up to this thread, before the next assignment starts. Anyway thanks to all who replied!

It would be sort of nice if they could be put in a simple grid gallery as well. It's not that difficult.
Sorry mate, the poll only allows 10 people max and we had more entries than that. It would have been a lot easier for me. Also it's not 1 person picking a winner, it's one person picking his/her favorites. A Privilege you get when you win the previous assignment(something that is standard for years now). Normally I only host the assignments, this time I also had the honor to do the picking.
We tried to do the picking with a larger jury multiple times, however trough the international nature of this forum it was almost impossible to get a smooth running assignment schedule. Thanks for your input.
