Twilight: The Saga Continues... Continued again?

So my sculpture/blob/trophy/ was chosen as a finalist for the Twilight Criterium trophy competition.  Yay!  Now it is in a store window in down town Athens to be voted on by the unedumucated and easily influenced (by meaningless influences) PUBLIC.  My trophy/sculpture/blob is in.... a.... consignment, I mean thrift, I mean vintage, I mean second hand, there it is Boutique.  The window is so filled with stuff it would be nearly impossible for the above mentioned PUBLIC to discern what they would be voting for, and that is only  if they could figure out how to work their phones.  Other trophies received much more visible store frontage, for example, the only cool record store, one of the nicest restaurants in town, a late night eatery, a pretty rad burrito spot, another (slightly less cluttered window) JUNK store, a college sports enthusiast shop and last but probably best a really sweet in town trendy hotel.  Mine is not in the best spot to be noticed by the masses, but all is good because the PUBLIC vote really doesn't matter in the grand scheme... as far as money in my pocket and clout for my ego goes.  The PUBLIC vote just decides what order the trophies are handed out to race winners... Big Whoop.  After the PUBLIC vote the top 3 or 5 or maybe all 8 go to a VIP silent auction/gallery showing.  The three sculptures that receive the highest bid/make the most moola will receive a cash prize, and the highest earning sculpture will become the Twilight trophy for years to come... I hope my brazes hold.....
