Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the top 20 runners up in the 5th annual Enchanted Doll Birthday Contest!

First I'd like take a minute to thank all the participants for all your hard work regardless of whether you made this list or not. I really appreciate the thought, time, effort and sincerity that went into designing your entries. Choosing was hard. I made my selection based on a combination of your concept originality, aesthetic design, composition, supportive elements, artist statements and overall presentation.

The most important consideration point for me, was how much though went into adapting a tattoo design to the doll's anatomy and joints. Some entries made the scale and body lines work to their advantage more successfully than others, which is a the very essence of a beautiful tattoo. I enjoyed looking at and reading about all your entries. Good luck next time to those who didn't make this cut and congratulations to the runners up. I'll see some of you in the next round tomorrow! Sleep tight ;)

And now, the top 20 entries!

This is the line up! Thank you for beautiful entries and good luck in the next round! (If you don't see your entry in the galleries, please email us at inquiries@enchanteddoll.com.
