Thats a pretty damn good line up of artist judges (Im just happy Im not competing against them!  ) I find it surprising that there's one standout that all the judges love given the number of entries in the comp, and the standard of artists on here.

Thats a great panel. All Artist , all different styles, all great at what they do. I wouldn't think that a better group of guys could be selected.

It tastes like that stuff that's dried in the
Bottom of your Tiki Mug!!!!

This was a pretty stiff competition. There are SO MANY designs that made the panels very different top 20 lists. So, without further ado, I present you with the winners...
There was not a single design that was agreed upon by all judges as being in the top 20. Our first place winner did win 5 of the 6 votes, placing in the top 3 for 5 of the 6 judges. All of the entries above made 4 out of 6 of the top 20 lists. Again, there were A LOT of designs that made the top 20 lists but these ones were the concensus favorites.
Congratulations to you all and especially to Unklefun, who will be the "toast of the town" one night here at Mugoomba. That will be a TC exclusive party and I will announce the date when we're ready to roll out his design!
Mahaloz!
Holden

Congrats to the winners----good stuff. GROG can't believe GROG was disqualified by Squid, GROG think he just not want to sculpt GROG's "Kentiki Mug". Kinny LOVED it!!!

I'm glad I stayed up to check the results, what a great day I just found out my best friend is going to have a baby and now I'm going to have a tiki mug.
Thanks to all the judges and especially to Holden for this wonderful opportunity.

Sweet entries all around. It will be interesting to see them brought to life. The way some of them were drawn they already look 3-D. Seeing how I'm a detroit guy, I will certainly like to get a Loa in my hands, see if all those colors stay in just like a Spanish mug.
Now that thes mug came out, T.F. artist in the future are really going to have to think long and hard to top. The mug are going to be flowing into my house for years to come.
