I haven't had this much fun doing arts and crafts since preschool. Thanks for hosting this Smoothie!
Here are my votes.

Contest 1
1.) CryptoGreatDane - I showed this to my family and everybody enjoyed it, it was... cute said most. "Oh no! My coin is buyer funded" 
2.) MoparMiningLLC - Very neat 3D print especially for the occasion which seems to double as a hidden Lealana stash. Points for creativity!
3.) MarkZellers - The story associated with this is very heartfelt and personal. Points for orange pilling the younger generation.

Contest 2
1.) TxCryptoKid - That has to be the most insane Liquid collection I've seen yet. What a set!
2.) aoluain - As a fan of aoluain's coloring books, I love seeing a Christmas design from them.
3.) HelenaYu - Great coin artwork and Bitcoin Donuts, enough said.

Happy New Year all. I hope everyone can close this year out with great memories, lessons learned, and a positive mindset for 2023.

edit: is anyone else seeing the first column of entrants as smaller sized thumbnails than the rest of the contest entrants?

Very odd as the preview shows it as showing up the right size, but when finalizing it it is smaller than the rest.

Hmm

Yes I do. Using latest Firefox. Rechecked with Chrome and it's the same. Weird.
Interestingly enough, when typing a response and seeing your OP in this view, everything seems normal-sized.

Yes.
One easy fix is to make a first row of underlines and adjust by those the column withs
Edit: if that's OK for you, an option with that code of this table "fixed" (with added underscores) is in this post.

As much as I am amazed to see two votes for my entry from a seemingly random newbie account, I would be in favor to exclude accounts with no trade history and just a handful of meaningless posts so far
- unless someone trusted jumps in and explains it's their uncle/mom/kid/etc. that just signed up.

Rules -

3. Please include the current date and your username in the picture otherwise it will not be a valid entry into the contest.

@Smoothie, Is this rule ignored for the contest? because i have come across entries which has been voted for which do not meet the above requirement.

What I will do to deal with this is whomever wins will have to provide this in order to claim the prize and it will have to be done publicly showing ownership over the art/decoration as proof.

edit:

NO NEW ACCOUNTS CAN VOTE. Your bitcointalk.org account has to be at least 2 months old in order to vote and had been active (your last post prior to voting post) in the last 3 months to count as a vote.

though they may count as they do seem to meet the time frame - so dunno?
