Vote for the two artists of your choice! Votes generally go in the comments, but have been known to arrive by email, by postcard, or in a sealed envelope.
Please note that you may vote only once in each face-off. Opining that both of the artists in one of the two face-offs is superior to the other is fine, but casting your votes for two artists in the same face-off is not permissible.

Both of the first two over both of the... oh, wait. Stupid rules. Let's go Stella and Stuart.
Stella, Stubbs.
And voting's complete here, with Stella delivering a 10-0 skunking on poor Riopelle up top, and Stubbs beating Stuart by a 6-4 two-vote swing down at the bottom. There have only been a handful of skunks in the Tournament; we'll see if Stella can keep up that kind of momentum against Clifford Still this week!
