Agreed. Bill has knocked it out of the park over the past year. Blown away by
the activity in the virtual con and Best Of.
I’m new to OA but have really enjoyed diving in.

Surprised I haven't read more about people's votes. This year, there is a
lot of great art, and I love the two step voting process. In the past, I
would try to look at each category from the top down and from the bottom up,
so I didn’t use my votes too quickly, and inadvertently disadvantage someone
with a name later in the alphabet. The new two-step process is brilliant.
Thanks to Bill and Brian for improving a fun (but tough) process. This took
a really long time, but I love seeing so many pieces that I somehow missed!
