I had to cheat a bit to even post this many avatars in one post, since the board software only allows 20 images per post, but we have 21 submissions. @Starscape, I hope you don’t mind that I made two of your entries into one image. People can still find the originals here.

No problem, @Michael.

That's a cracking set of avatars, it's going to be tough picking just three...

Thanks to everyone for voting! Unfortunately this ended in a tie. So I set up a quick runoff vote to determine who’s the winner.
