A different type of poll

Congratulations KraftyMax with 47 poll votes! ♥ ::happy dance::
The poll has ended. THANK YOU all for your WONDERFUL support. Still counting the promotional entries, #AFP has been a success :)

We are celebrating 6 months of AFUS (Artfire Favorite Undiscovered Studios) features, and to honor the wonderful selfless supporters I've had the opportunity to see in action, I would like to present to you a different type of poll.

ArtFire has just introduced the Like button for studios. So why not use it as a vote counter? :) Since it's so new, it gives everyone a pretty fair level playing field, so let's use it!

I would like to limit the number of studios to make it easier to vote, but I definitely plan to run a Favorite Supporter Poll regularly, so if you have been quietly supporting undiscovered studios, do let me know so I can send my heartfelt thanks.

The 10 studios I've picked for this month's Favorite Supporter Poll, are just 10 out of 29 (I know of) who have been very active in helping ArtFire shops get their first sale. Come back next month to see some more of these beautiful studios run by wonderful, selfless people.

How to vote:

To vote, click Like inside the studio(s) you like. Easy peasy :)

The Like button is on the left side of each studio, under the avatar. The voting will be done by clicking the Like button, such that it changes to Liked. Vote for all the ones you like, the Like votes will be tallied Tuesday May 25rd at 11:59 PM PST.

If you see a Liked button under the studio avatar, it means you have already voted for that studio, Thank You!
Like=You can vote. Liked=You have already voted.
