Contest: VOTE SF&F Avatar Contest: CanCon in SF&F

[Avro Arrow]

Hi all, it's time to vote for your favourite CanCon in SF&F avatars!

So we had a baker's dozen of entries this time... which I guess corresponds to one entry for each of the ten provinces and three territories, so, um, nice job, all! So let's say you can vote for three, just not your own, because that wouldn't be polite, eh? The poll will be open for five days.

Here are your entries:

- David Hewlett as Dr. Rodney McKay, Stargate Atlantis

Some of these were entered, and some were not, but this thread seems like an apropos place to throw this in!

Good luck!

I wrote all my votes on maple leaves.

OK, I did some alternates for this theme; how could I not?

Canadian Performers

And a special bonus of what might have been...

Shows filmed/produced in Canada

Of course, neither of these groups are exhaustive, but I didn't want to be making alternates forever! I mean, just look at all these shows alone... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_science_fiction_TV_and_radio_shows_produced_in_Canada

But only for two. Blame Canada!

 

[Orac]

I voted thrice, A.

 

[auntiehill]

The poll is closed! It was a close vote, but our winner is...

Orac!

with an avatar of Montreal-born William Shatner!

Did you know that there was once a campaign to try to get William Shatner installed as our Governor General? Obviously he never was, but he was awarded a Governor General's Performing Arts Award (Lifetime Artistic Achievement) in 2011, and the Governor General appointed him to the Order of Canada in 2017.

So congratulations, @Orac , the next contest is all yours! And a big thank you to everyone who entered and/or voted!

And to close us out, well, take it away, Mr. Shatner...
