My vote goes to team KEN. Teango's log was really inspirational, and he was supportive not only of his team members but even of his non team members. Good job also that 3 out of 4 made it.

Thank you to everyone who has voted! As for myself, it's a hard call but I'm going to have to give my vote to Team ÇÜ. I enjoyed following LanguageSponge and Jinx's logs this year and especially liked that they tried to write in their target languages as much as possible.
So that brings the count to:
- 5 votes for Team Ohana
- 2 votes for Team KEN
- 2 votes for Team ÇÜ
- 1 vote for Team Œ
Does anyone else want to put in a vote? There's still time!

I'm gonna have to give my vote to Team あ. Their team's posts were interesting,
informative, and wanderlust-inducing. Their commitment to learning Japanese and their
support for each other was really inspiring. I loved reading their logs.

For a team vote I think the overall best performance was Team OHANA so my vote goes there. But I must say I have found the individual log of TixhiiDon to be particularly inspiring. It's one of the few logs here where you get a genuine sense of the progress that has been made, in this case starting from the beginning with such a challenging language just two years ago.

It's not so much fun with the teams thinning out in the course of the year, argh. If I could vote individually I would vote for Ellasevia, but my team vote goes to Team Ő. I think they did fine and were also a team already in the beginning of the year.

I'd also like to vote for Arekkusu and Team あ. I think Arekkusu's log was very interesting, detailed and strong
throughout the entire year, and I enjoyed it very much despite not being a learner of Japanese. Fantastic work
Arekkusu!

Allow me to submit one more vote for team OHANA! With so much dedication to many languages and clear committment to your studies, you deserve it!
Maybe in future TAC competitions we might have other "awards" something like schools do for graduating students:
Most Improved
Most Likely to Succeed
Best Performance in a Linguistic Drama (just kidding there!)
It could get too complicated, maybe, but would give recognition to other outstanding TAC participants who completed a year's work on their projects. Just an idea!
