Previously on the Enterprise Avatar Contest...

And our theme this week is "Incognito," as suggested by our own HopefulRomantic, who explained it thusly:
Right, then. Standard avatar rules apply, the entry thread will run through Tuesday night and the voting thread will go up early Wednesday morning (U.S. Eastern time). Good luck!
Admiral Shran and HopefulRomantic were both kind enough to let me take the Sceptor [sic] and run with it. The next episode on the list is "North Star," in which our intrepid crew stumbles upon a planet in the Expanse populated by humans--except they're cowboys.All right, trebbs members have spoken and the results are in. Are you ready to find out who our champions are?
*pregnant pause with dramatic music to heighten the sense of anticipation*
In our episode category, we have a record-breaking tie between not two, but three contestants!
First there's Admiral Shran with an avatar that would melt any but the iciest heart:

Next in first place is HopefulRomantic with a pensive Sim--or is that Trip? I can never tell those two apart.

Last in our tie for first place is Skywalker with a sweet moment between Sim and our favorite beagle:

Congratulations, you three, now you can begin to battle over who gets the unparalleled opportunity to run the next avatar contest!
Wait! I haven't forgotten about our runners-up.Ironically, there was a three-way tie for that as well.
First up for puppy kisses is I am Surak with an avatar extolling the virtues of T'Pol's lovely curves:

Next, we have JiNX-01 receiving beagle licks for displaying that poignant moment where T'Pol overcomes her aversion to unsanitary human kissing and plants one on Sim:

![]()
And finally, od0_ital earns some love for that sweet scene of young Sim:

![]()
Fortunately, there were no ties in the Theme category.
HopefulRomantic ran away with the Golden Porthos with her T'Pol in Uniform avatar, which is utterly irresistable to ENT fans around the world:

Skywalker eeked in 2nd place with a compelling avatar depicting the tough choice season 3 Archer had to make in the expanse--to strand another species or give up his mission to save his own planet.

![]()
Congratulations to all!
(I'll let you in on a little secret though... I'm the real winner since I finally managed to find an avatar that didn't earn a single vote! w00t! Go me!!)
Take it away people!
*tosses the Sceptor toward the three episode winners and sits back to watch the battle*

And our theme this week is "Incognito," as suggested by our own HopefulRomantic, who explained it thusly:
Emphasis mine.... how about "Incognito"? That would be any of our intrepid crew in costume or disguise to blend in with the natives. And no, I don't mean IaMD. (Too easy.)
Right, then. Standard avatar rules apply, the entry thread will run through Tuesday night and the voting thread will go up early Wednesday morning (U.S. Eastern time). Good luck!

Ironically, there was a three-way tie for that as well.
