Here we go again. Good response this month. A last minute rush especially in Category A has meant I have had to hold some over for next month. Just too damn hard to pick just 6 for you to vote on.
Remember post your votes here. ONE vote per Category and ONE VOTE FOR OVERALL. Your comments are appreciated too.
I have added a very brief description as some entries are not what they seem.
Category A .... 3 Dimensional
A1 ... Routed letters, sculptured sign foam
A2 ... 10x6 Sandblasted HDU
A3 ... Double sided gate sign and design
A4 ... Sandstone, glass and aluminum
A5 ... Double sided HDU
A6 ... (no description)
That's Category A ... please wait as I can only post one category at a time.
If anyone can post a thumbnail of them all I would appreciate that as it makes overall voting easier.

A1 I love the use of color and how the various elements work together. Its effectively used dimension to make one classy sign!
B4 Nice use of blends... I'm always prone to vote for a great use of a cartoon. It will be interesting to fins out who designed this wonderful piece.
C1 I'm positive the phtos doesn't begin to show just how fine this piece is. I've seen a step by step of it during the building process.... it is a TON of work well executed!
D3 There is a wide variety of colors on this truck... but they all work together well. A work truck never looked so good.
E5 This piece does exactly what is is designed to in a very simple and classy fashion. Great design!
Overall C1 Nothing like reverse glass... and this one uses every single trick in the book and a few more besides.

Wow this was the toughest one et for me....I want to vote for almost all of them!!! A-6 - I love the woodsy feel on this one B-2 - Fun! C-1 - Surprise... D-6 - I like the edge treatment... E-6 - Made me smile
Overall C-1 I'm with Dan on this one....the incredible amount of work and attention to detail in this piece as well as the in depth step by step and willingness to share and teach by the creator blows me away. I can honestly say I got almost as much pleasure out of the creation of this piece as I would have got by doing it myself. Well done!

A-6 A hard choice between this and A-1 (not the steak sauce!) B-2 C-1 How would you like to have your job competing behind this one? Can you spell stomp? D-2 Way cool idea! E-5
Overall, C-1. I would love to see this one in person. I followed its construction on Mike Jackson's site and I'm sure the photo doesn't come close to doing it justice.

They were all great thought. It's tough to pick a favorite. You all are an inspiration.
