Splitting the category for human-ish dolls vs animals

I've gotten some good comments from people about the Best Rest of the Animal Kingdom category. As I pointed out earlier this week on flickr, this category has the most entries and encompasses both animal softies and human-like doll softies. They are so different and to give dolls and animals equal chance, I've decided to split the category. You don't need to do anything differently! I'll just have the Judges pick Top 5 for human-ish dolls and Top 5 for animals. If you've already entered and tagged your softie 'animal' you don't need to change it. If you enter anything going forward, just add that 'animal' tag as usual. The Judges will do the work of sorting and picking. Hope this is clear. Email me if you have questions.
