Every week, being a judge gets harder and harder as the judges get more and more animated cheering for their favorites. So if you see a barrel (yes that's the collective word for judges) of judges brawling, by all means, stop to take photos. Thank you to all the contestants who put in entries in round 16, we hope you had as much fun creating the entries as we did laughing at the great posts. Every week we get new people joining and the bigger we grow the better it becomes, so go out and tell your friends. As we grow bigger, we will increase the rewards.

This week the goat started to eat the final tally, this caused a panic, and we had to bring our residential goat whisperer @Amirtheawesome1 to smooth things over. Luckily we still manage to get out the top 3 prizes, but shortly the extra prizes will also be announced.
