Pending a more formal post with, you know, links, here's a quick photo one of our members took of the top 10 NYAF finalists, on display at the New York Anime Festival cherry blossom festival booth over the weekend.

Congratulations and good luck to all finalists! In case you were wondering how the 10 were chosen, it was a simple process. theOtaku.com chose 10 finalists (to avoid questions of bias, I personally had no part in the selection). Del Rey Manga chose 10 finalists. Then the New York Anime Festival took our nominations into consideration, looked over every entry, and then chose the 10 that they liked best (it is their convention, after all).
