'We few, we happy few....'
Here we are at the end of the fourteenth edition of the Painting Challenge. The library has turned off its lights, votes have been counted for both 'Minions' Choice' and 'Challengers' Choice', Sarah has made her selection for 'Sarah’s Choice' and I’ve done the same for 'SnowLord's Choice'.
Now, I suggest you get your favourite tipple and settle in for the read.
We had 22 nominations for this year's Challengers' Choice with a great voting response from our participants (45 votes cast). Its always fun to take in the gallery of nominees as it provides such a wonderful retrospective of the thee months of the Challenge.

Before Challenge XIV formally concludes, I’d like to thank again our brilliant Minions for all their hard work herding entries, wrangling with the Spreadsheet of Doom and generally keeping everything rattling along. Thanks to Paul and Barks for the managing the Duels and keeping track of the skull-count. I also wish to thank our Challenge Sponsors for their generous support of the event. If you have a free moment please visit their web stores via the banners on the left sidebar and see if something strikes your fancy. As I often say, the Challenge doesn’t need prizes to be a success, but it adds a nice bit of chrome to the festivities. Thanks again to all our wonderful sponsors!
