In one of our most hotly contested duels in the history of Fan Choice, an incredible attempt that looked 3D trumped an amazing structure that actually was multi-dimensional.
The largest anamorphic pavement art combined with the largest can pyramid to hoard an aggregate total of 95% of all votes in last week's Fan Choice, leaving the other competitors in a distant rearview mirror. By the close of voting, the anamorphic pavement art snuck away with nearly 53% of your votes and the win.
Wilhelmshaven Touristik and Freizeit gmbH (Germany) will now be entered in our list of contenders for a year-end showdown in which we'll ask you fans to vote for your favorite record of the year at the end of 2013.
Time now to meet this week's candidates and then cast your vote below. We have a new take on the electric slide and enough guacamole to serve a thousand Super Bowl parties, but first, a lot of cold snow bunnies.
