I would love to see a list of the TOBY winners please.

There were a couple of posts from people who were at the show and got nominations, but I haven't seen a complete list yet.  Did you enter, Joanne?

desertmountainbear Jan 15, 2012

Yes,  I haven't entered in a couple years, but this year I tried again.  You can't win if you don't play, right?  I entered two.  Some kind person emailed me last night to tell me he heard my name, but which one?  I would love to know.

Well, that's good news, anyway, Joanne!  :dance:  I'd have been very surprised if you didn't get a nomination. Your work is wonderful!
I entered this year, but didn't the last two. I entered many times before those last two years though...I did win once and boy did that feel good, so I thought it was time for another go! Waiting to hear is the second hardest part (the hardest is hearing I didn't make the cut LOL)

Hopefully some sweet soul will take pity on us and when they go back to their hotel room tonight they will post.

Joanne

Best of luck Tami.

You would think they would post it on their website, but I guess they probably want to individually notify winners first.  Good luck, everyone.

Jeez I completely forgot about the TOBY announcement, I knew I'd been distracted but I guess that's proof! hehe. I had decided not to enter and then changed my mind when they extended the deadline.... Good luck to everyone waiting to hear!  :hug:

I must admit that I'm itching to see the list as well.  I'm in the same boat as you, Joanne, a sweet soul emailed me the night of the TOBYs to tell me that he heard my name and saw my bear.  But I entered a couple of categories, so I don't know which bear won!     I am thrilled that I won in one of those categories though.  Hearing about all the people who entered and are still waiting or who won, I can see that the competition was stiff.  I'm utterly amazed and thrilled that I was nominated!

REALLY!!!  I haven't entered the Toby's in over 10 years because no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't seem to get a nomination!  I had seen people posting their wins and figured I had not won this time either.  I honestly don't know what to think.  Thank you, Joanne, for posting this and congratulations to all the winners.
