2007 Winner for best video Headless Jason is a gifted vocalist who performed a parody of Stevie Wonder's Superstition to decry his own botched ritual circumcision. He donated his cash prize to the Ron Paul US presidential campaign because he feels Paul is the most foreskin-friendly contender.

2007 Winner for best video (tragedy) Brian (aka PainfulQuestioning) submitted "A Mother's View" which made a simple compelling case for intactness aimed at expecting parents. He took his prize in TLC gear.

2007 Winner for Best Original Song goes by the name Squirrel. He took his prize (uncontested) in TLC Gear.

2007 Winner for Song Parody was It's Beautiful, set to You're Beautiful by James Blount.

2007 Winner for Parody Lyrics was Sigi, who donated his winnings to NoCirc.org. He submitted a Bob Dylan parody "With God on their Side."

2007 Winners for Best Poem were Birthright Reclamation by Rosie and An American Obscenity by Nicole. They took their winnings in TLC apparel and cash.

2007 Winner for Previously Published work was YouTube user Intactivist1, who submitted "Mother Sobs Upon Seeing Circumcision Wound" from the final scenes in the documentary Cutting With Tradition. It will break your heart.

Note some of the entrants for 2007 must have changed their e-mail addresses. If you entered and haven't received your entry gift you'll need to contact me at TLCTugger@Juno.com.

Thanks to all the entrants and congratulations to our talented winners. We hope to again have professional film director and musician Greg Popp to judge the 2008 entries. We're happy to help if anyone needs assistance with production issues. We look forward to your entry. Spread the word.

Good Luck,
Ron and Alice Low

The 2008 TLC Tugger Pro-Intact Song, Poetry, and YouTube Contest entries are in.

I would really appreciate your help and your support for the artists who took the time to create new works celebrating human rights.

We have 9 categories, but if you could vote for at least one that would mean a lot. Just go to the Contest Entries Gallery Page (http://TLCTugger.com/Song_Contest_Gallery_2008.htm) and review all entries for any category. Then click its VOTE icon. I've made it easier this year; no logging in required.

Even the entrants in the uncontested categories would appreciate your support for their efforts. Voting is open throughout October. We'll know our winners about the same time we name the next US president.

Thanks,
