Update: due to issues with the Chicken category, I've decided to start a separate poll for chickens. We will give out separate awards to the chicken categories and to the best Young Birds/Waterfowl/Any Other Fowl categories in lieu of a reserve and champion overall fun show, as I know the judging and timelines have been a bit wonky.
Vote for your favorite birds! This was an anything-goes fun show without restrictions, so judging is pretty loose. It can be a bird you find pretty, something fun, a well-shaped bird that couldn't make it into the show for whatever reason, or just a bird you raised and enjoy. You are encouraged to take credit for your birds/photography, so feel free to comment below which birds are yours, any stories behind the pictures, and share with friends and family to get their votes.
Voting is closed, see the results below!
I sorted them into categories to make it more manageable. The top photo in each category will be recognized, and the photo with the most votes out of all of the categories will receive a certificate, plaque, and t-shirt.
Note: The photos are not listed in any particular order, just how they uploaded onto my computer. I also realize the photos cropped weirdly on a few of them. I am working to fix that, but until then, this is the best way I found to do it that could handle this many images in one place!
More ways to support the virtual show so we can continue to keep it free:

NEW SHOW:
This is hopefully going to work in lieu of the chicken competition glitch, which even WIX programmers could not fix... The winners from each category will be announced, and the top chicken overall (with the most votes) will get a shirt, certificate, and ribbon. The categories here are Rooster and Hen.

Thank you everyone for submitting, voting, and participating in general for the fun show! I've put the full gallery below to show what the photos look like uncropped and fullsize, if it makes it easier for anyone.
If anyone has suggestions for fun show categories next year, thoughts on the fun show in general, or other fun things to share, please let me know below!
All the best,
