The winning hat waiting to be unveiled

 It's time!

 Time for the unveiling of the "Tin Four, Rubber Duck" 2017 Triumphant Tin Foil Hat!

 All the votes are in - both the public gallery votes and the private email votes - and I'm pleased to announce that I didn't have to use my own vote as a Head Judge's Decider as there is a clear winner (just).

 But, before we get to the winner, we'd better take a look at the runners up. Yes, runners up plural. With three Tin Foil Hats gaining the same amount of votes each - just two less than the winner - this year's compo sees three runners up!
 And they are:

Charmaine's Ms Scarlet's Tin Foil Hat Competition with rubber duck by Andy Warhol

Mago's Darling - I set my head on fire for You !

and Dinahmow's Fantabulous Titfer

 And so, I am pleased to present the 2017 Triumphant Tin Foil Hat:

Savvy's Four Feathered Fascinator!

 Savvy, you've done it!  Not only have you managed to get a tin foil hat designed, constructed and submitted on time (for a change), but you've also gone and won!

Congratulations!!!

 I'll gather some old bits of tat a resplendent prize together and have it winging it's way to you forthwith (or whenever I can be bothered...). 

Enormous thanks to all those who made a tin foil hat - without you there would be no tin foil-wrapped event (however scratchy and uncomfortable it may have been, cough*Hound*cough). And thanks to everyone who stopped by and voted, and everyone else who was aware of this event and yet didn't report us to the Council of Tin Foil Travesties.

Uh, oh... What's going on here?
 

Livid at being consigned to the "also-rans", LX, Hound and the Host put the final touches to their tin foil plane with which to fly away to a mountain lair and plot their revenge (Hound might appear to be sniffing LX's bum, but is, in fact,  pretending to check the prop-shaft, or somesuch. Like he knows what he's doing...)
