Quality Award
@Vanessa_the_Guesser was in a class of her own — 8.40 votes per caption across 10 captions, far and away the best ratio of anyone writing three or more. @Al_Overy followed on 4.87 (15 captions) and @John_Harrison on 3.72 (18). Proof again that a small, sharp set beats volume every time.
Most #1 Captions
@Vanessa_the_Guesser topped this too, with 4 winning captions — ahead of @Stephen_Bean and @John_Harrison on 3 each, with @Lara_Holly and @Chris_Keegan taking 2 apiece. A brilliant all-round week for Vanessa.
Community Spirit
@Kathleen_Ralph kept the wheels turning — 69 upvotes placed (the 4th-busiest voter) and a top-3 finish on the finder leaderboard from 44 discoveries, spotting plenty of good captions before the crowd caught on.
Tina Awards
Decimator — @Dave_Bryan 
Dave has earned his first Decimator, notching up 100 net votes across 10 consecutive captions (14–18 June). Ten on the bounce, every one finding its voters — not one fell flat. A wonderfully consistent run, Dave; richly deserved.
In Closing
Stephen back on top, Vanessa’s standout quality week, and a first Tina for Dave — a fine way to close out June. Thanks to everyone who captioned, voted and found this week. See you next Sunday.
