On-going rules for all Top Tens: No single person, place or thing being awarded is allowed to have Top Ten placement more than three times for different creations and/or achievements. If one Top Ten pick is selected more than once but no more than three times, it automatically is to be considered for Top 5 selection. Honorable mentions do not count. All Top Tens must be created in the spirit of appreciation for the category/topic only. All picks must be backed by reasonable arguments, facts and intrigue about the pick, or debatable tastes and personal opinions.
