Now I am convinced you people do this on purpose! We have a three-way tie between Farrar, EdoBosnar and Crimebuster. Can someone who has not yet voted please cast a tiebreaker vote between these entries.

I'm off to bed. You guys know the drill. If somebody breaks the tie, the winner should feel free to start the next contest. And invent your own puns (within reason).

You can’t control who people vote for. But it seems that some people never get votes no matter what the cover might be.

Let me also say that the people on the top of the win chart are great at this game and have recall of a wider variety of covers. They deserve their wins.

While there may be some truth to that, and I have no problem with the cover winning, and I have no problem with anybody else winning, repeat or not.
I was just making a curious observation. I know there is also an awesome Frazetta cover that has won multiple times, and I don't have a problem with that either, as I like both covers. I guess I'm just preferential to variety. But hey, it's not like there's a cash prize or anything.
The rules say to vote for your favorite, plain and simple. A favorite is a favorite is a favorite, and if it properly fits the category, so be it-- regardless of whether it was used before or not.
Again, congrats to Farrar . As it gets more difficult to come up with new, unique cover topics, I always like to see what folks bring up. Personally, I always try to make it somewhat challenging, but not so difficult that people don't participate. A very narrow topic where there are perhaps only 10-15 covers in existence is so difficult that it's not any fun for anybody. Farrar has a knack for creativity in topic selection, so I know it should be another good one.
And this should be about "fun", right?
Bring on the next round!

Congrats to Farrar. As to tartan's point, isn't there a list of all the winners, curious if this cover has won multiple times. I suppose other covers have as well.

I don't know what "winner" means in this game, besides getting the most votes, since there's no strict rubric for the "best" cover.
I always looked at it as the one I find most aesthetically pleasing, or one that gives a fun twist on the category.

Excellent point.
Even non-conformity to the proposed cover topic is not a disqualification. The only real rubric is the date-time frame limitation (currently books 2012 and older).

99% of the time I post from my collection, so yes, you're going to see repeats from me. Heck I've posted my Classics Comics Lorna Doone many times (and never won with it, but I LOVE it so I'll keep using it when the theme fits). Sorry my MO bothers you.

No, it doesn't bother me at all... You're the Vince Lombardi of the cover contest.
