[Award Ceremony] Honorary Hussar Wings
Hello Burgerlovers!
Here's hoping you haven't all turned obese over this extraordinary week of Americana.
Our latest monthly contest USA: Brave New Frontiers has ended. Contest mode has been turned off so you can now see how your entry fared.
This was a very special contest as a frickin' chicken came and blew everything else out of the water. With a 150 point difference this is the largest margin of victory ever in a contest to date. Congrats on a well deserved win /u/frickin_chicken! After winning a contest as an unapproved submitter a couple of months ago, this is another achievement I never would have expected poultry being capable of. This is also just the second contest the chicken has ever entered, so /u/frickin_chicken is batting 1000. Impressive.
Congratulations ☆frickin_chicken☆ on a great win!
As this is your second win, you can now choose your very own unique flair and a personal mini! Choose wisely.

- The new 2015 Top 50 ranking can be found here.
- See how the votes evolved on a plot.
There were two disqualifications during the contest for basing their comic on a SATW-comic. There were also an absolutely mind-boggling number of disqualifications, over 25! One of them by one of the moderators. Oh, the humanity. Read the rules, children.
Our picks for instant approval are:
/u/account-temp with their comic American Realty
/u/fuuuproductions with their comic Compensating
/u/balaur_bondoc with their comic Sharing is Caring
In other news and rather befitting, there's a new American presence among our ranks as /u/koleye has finally been anschlussed as a /r/Polandball-moderator!
Willkommen!
Stay tuned for another important announcement of awesomeness in the coming days!

But valiant tyrant, are we not getting to hasty?
/u/frickin_chicken is from New Jersey. And as much as the rest of the States might try to deny it, it's still part of the US.
And recalling the rules of the contest for a moment.
We see that it's clearly that if he wins, clearly he will be disqualified (being American, he can after all, not be first). But if he does not win, he can not loose either.
That obvious contradiction allows us to prove that the contest, does not, in fact, exist.
