The results are in!

Allow me to explain the winner, Matty Jones.

The rules are that you can vote for yourself, but if there's a tie breaker then your self-vote won't count.

So with that being said, everyone that was voted for had 1 vote each. I couldn't wait for someone to come along and MAYBE give someone a 2nd vote (they could have just voted for someone that had 0 votes, so we'd still be at 1 vote each). So I decided to choose the winner.

Unfortunately, this is what has to be done in a rare situation like this.

Next competition, we might bring back judges instead, as it's something I've been considering anyway.

Regardless of all this, congratulations to Matty Jones for the win!

Everyone brought some heat, and I'm glad it was a full turnout, it was dope.

If it helps, I don't actually remember voting for myself (or at all, for that matter). Nor did I even tell anybody about it, so just an fyi. Thank you very much for the love, still.
