I've received a couple of asks from newer followers who weren't around for earlier tournaments, so I figured it might be helpful to pin a list with ones we've done and their winners!
So far:
Best Character - Morrigan (runner-up: Isabela)
Best Romance - Zevran (runner-up: Fenris)
Best Non-PC Ship - Isabela/Merrill (runner-up: Josephine/Leliana)
If you're here for/interested in the results of the Dragon Age fandom census survey I ran through July, you can find all of the posts here!
FAQ below the cut!
Where is [x entry] this round? / How do you deal with uneven numbers?
Answered here!
How do you decide the match-up order?
It's all completely randomised! Each tournament, I take the list of entries and shuffle them via random.org.
Can I suggest a tournament idea?
Absolutely! I'm always open to suggestions. After each tournament ends, I run a poll with a shortlist of themes for the next one, and the one we go with is decided by the vote. If a theme you suggested doesn't win, it'll likely be included again in the next poll.
This propaganda sucks!
Oh no! Send in some of your own then.
Can I send propaganda in even though the tournament is ongoing?
Of course! Propaganda is always accepted. Just send it in via the askbox and it will be posted along with a link to the poll, and if the entry in question goes through to the next round your propaganda will be added to the post going forward (provided it's text-only - I can't add images to the poll posts).
You made a mistake in this post!
Aw, man. This happens a lot. I don't tend to answer these asks just to avoid clogging the dash, but please know I'm incredibly grateful whenever anyone lets me know and I'll fix it ASAP once informed. :)

"Bartrand has absolutely no business hitting as hard as he does. This is a middle-aged merchant prince who spends most of Act 1 complaining about costs, and then his boss fight starts and he can come out of stealth and delete Aveline with one backstab."
"her spell for dealing with people getting too close is to make the ground attack them. her spell for people staying farther away is to drag them back towards her. i do not think merrill cares where you wanted to stand"
"she uses her own life force as fuel. she brings the resource with her, nobody else has to be available, and hurting her doesn't necessarily stop her casting. it might just give her less reason to hold back."
"her ranged attack can literally curve back towards you. even when she misses, the sword apparently goes “no actually, try that again”"
"My pitch is that Meredith has two separate winning resumes stacked on top of each other. Baseline Meredith is an experienced Knight-Commander with heavy armour, anti-magic abilities and a history of personally leading violent coups. Red-lyrium Meredith can blitz across an arena, throw people around, fire tracking energy and animate several tonnes of metal. You don’t have to like her politics to admit the final version is built to ruin almost anyone’s day."

"Prosper has killed a high dragon. Yes, he had thirty Chasind helping him, but that was shortly after dragons returned and people barely knew how to hunt them anymore. He still went after one, survived, and came away famous across Thedas for it. He has considerably more experience with enormous things trying to eat him than the average Orlesian noble."
"prosper raised and trained an exceptionally large wyvern over a period of years, to the point that he can ride it during a charge and direct it toward marked targets. keeping control of that animal while also firing a bow is honestly a feat by itself."
vs. Abelas
"he's the surviving commander of a military-religious order from elvhenan, has personally defended mythal's temple through repeated invasions, can use magic against several opponents simultaneously, and comes from an era whose magical knowledge has almost entirely disappeared"

"Athenril is an elven woman openly running a criminal operation in Kirkwall, a city where the guard, the merchants and the established underworld are all stacked against her. She did not inherit that position or get handed it by some noble family. However she got to the top, I doubt it involved losing many fights."
Re: some asks sent in, it's never too late to submit propaganda (...unless they're already out)! I've had a few people ask in the same message as their propaganda, and I don't want to answer them in case I forget to add your propaganda next round without it being in my inbox, so I just wanted to reassure everyone that I've gotten your propaganda entries and they'll be added next round :)

"She planned to murder Celene in the centre of the Winter Palace and was prepared to fight her own way out afterwards. The Venatori help her create the opportunity, but Florianne does not fold once the conspiracy is exposed. Unless the Inquisitor politically humiliates her into surrendering first, she personally takes on the Inquisition’s party."
"florianne can put you to sleep from across the arena and then vanish"
