Here is what I voted for -

1st Choice = [17] - Robert Galejs - And Now For Something Completely Different

2nd Choice = [26] - Robert Galejs - Three-Fin Snelson

The name of #1 also applies to my 2nd place choice. Very unique out-of-the-box thinking by Robert.

I voted for the RMR Descon, using the online voting system:

My top (2) were:

1st Choice = [21] - Chris Eilbeck - Scroton
2nd Choice = [22] - Louis Schroeder - Projekt Amerika
I have the following comments about the above and other entries:

A friend has made a replica of the scroton. Ton of fun. We also had a similar idea for the rocket giving birth in mid air as the projekt amerika. Good Stuff.

The rest of the rockets up for voting could just as well be my 'want to build some day' list. May the best design win.

My top (2) were:

1st Choice = [26] - Robert Galejs - Three-Fin Snelson
2nd Choice = [8] - Kelo Waivio - U.S.S. Journeyman

I picked the U.S.S. Journeyman because I like the asymetrical appearance of it.

But I had to pick the Three-Fin Snelson as my #1 pick. It is an incredible conceptual design that I had the opportunity to see up close and to see fly personally. Simply beautiful and an incredible piece of architecture

Good use of words, Jim, the Snelson took more architecture than model rocketry design!

I voted for the RMR Descon, using the online voting system:

My top (2) were:

1st Choice = [27] - Niall Oswald - ETV2/Crumple Zone
2nd Choice = [23] - Drake Damerau - Cosmostrader
I have the following comments about the above and other entries:

ETV2 - an elegant design that actually worked

Cosmostrader - this is actually a model of the rocket from the 1962 movie First Spaceship on Venus -- Drake did a remarkable job on this... and I'm a sucker for rockets from this era.
