Well the results are in and it was a close race in almost every category, except funniest. I debated keeping this contest open another week, but Brian Wallace told me he wished a recent contest he held had been much shorter and now I know what he means. This isn't the last contest we'll have at The Bowl, and soon we may have some prizes for ourselves and not have to mooch off the Mixx guys ;).   Most Memorable DoshDosh Best Custom Design Zaibatsu Best Self Picture MarkCarras Most Creative MethodMan Funniest By a landslide CaptainDigger Most Serious honest_ape Cutest not my idea tplahav Congrats to the winners! The Mixx guys should be getting in touch with you soon to determine how best to deliver your prize.

Inspired by the article "7 Reasons Why You’ll Click on Everything I Post" by Brian Wallace and the comments generated from the Mixx post here, I thought it would be interesting to hold a contest of Mixx avatars and see what the community thinks. The contest isn't a one avatar to rule them all, instead it will be broken down into several categories. The categories are: Most Memorable Best Custom Design Best Self Picture Most Creative Funniest Most Serious Cutest not my idea Of course cGt2099, joefowler3, and Bdog2g can't be nominated, but we can nominate. Post a comment with your vote in each category and on Tuesday January 15, 2008 check back to see if your name is next to one of the categories. If you can only think of one avatar, that's cool, just post the name of the avatar and the category for which you think is best. Remember, this is all in good fun and perhaps will help others (especially new people) to choose a proper avatar from themselves. ** Update ** According to Chris McGill (THE MIXX GUY): "Hey- schwag is coming in- we will offer winners some quality Mixx wear- details to come!" blog.mixx.com/2008/01/08/mixxingbowl-avatar-competition So there's a little more incentive to play along.
