To celebrate, I'm revealing the first winner of the 2009 Banner Contest. The inaugural winner is Fuzu, who sent along this anime-centric banner.
From left to right, the guys are: Orphen, Pegasus Seiya (of Saint Seiya), Eikichi Onizuka (of Great Teacher Onizuka), Tenchi Masaki (of Tenchi Muyo) and Sagara Sousuke (of Full Metal Panic).
This banner will stay up for about a month, so please keep sending entries. Check out this post for details.
Thanks again to Fuzu for the awesome banner!
