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. :)

Do you know any other Dragon Age poll/tournament blogs? I've loved this one :D They can be about anything I'm not picky I just want more DA poll content
I will always happily rep @dragonagepolls which has both fun polls and lovely mods, and I'm also aware of @veilguard-tournament if you're looking for more Veilguard-specific stuff!
Sadly I don't think I know any others - please do mention any in the replies if people know of more!
"fought in the rebellion, respected by loghain who is probably one of the best warriors in the lore, went through and survived the deep roads TWICE"
vs. Flemeth
"I don’t know how you argue against “turns into a dragon” without having a very specific answer prepared. She is already an ancient mage with more knowledge than almost anyone alive, and then if things get physical she can simply become a massive fire-breathing dragon."

vs. Cullen Rutherford
"sword, armour, anti-magic powers and training, severe stress tolerance"
"the wardens needed him specifically for the corypheus prison. they didn’t grab some random hedge mage because any mage would do, they needed a non-warden mage strong enough to reinforce seals holding an ancient darkspawn magister. even if he was forced into it, that still says quite a lot about the level of magic he could handle."
"trained mage, bloodline tied to ancient seals, raised at least two extremely dangerous children. genetics did not come from nowhere."
"People joke about Hawke family chaos, but Malcolm trained Bethany and mage Hawke well enough that they could function as apostates without Circle supervision"
vs. Lucius
"he was the leader of the SEEKERS, who are even stronger and rarer than templars, so on top of having the normal templar anti-magic powers he was important and skilled enough that envy stole his identity and could control the entire templar order with it. no way he's not kicking most mages' asses"
"I know the fake Warden thing makes people want to call him a fraud, but the fraud was the title. Thom Rainier was still an Orlesian captain before all of that. He knows war, command, and how to survive in heavy combat. He didn’t make up the sword arm."

"She’s the one who mentored Merrill, and Merrill is already a very capable mage. That says something about Marethari’s own level. You don’t become Keeper and train a First without knowing far more than a few little forest spells. Even if she isn’t showing off constantly, the background suggests a lot of magical discipline and experience."
vs. Tamlen
"I actually think Tamlen’s curiosity gets remembered more than his competence, which is fair because the mirror is kind of the defining thing, but before that he’s doing normal hunter work. He’s out in the woods armed, alert, and ready to deal with strangers who might be dangerous."

"I’d vote for her purely because I trust Bull’s assessment of useful weirdos. If he has a mage in the company who refuses to admit she’s a mage, he’s probably keeping her because she’s good enough that the denial is worth putting up with."
vs. Dagna
"fire rune, frost rune, lightning rune, demon-slaying rune, corrupting rune, whatever she’s managed to prepare - you do not want to be the test subject for her newest idea"
Thank you for putting together and publishing the survey! Reading the results has been super interesting :) Seeing people talk about their wildly different experiences with the games as well as the fandom in some cases (like "despite everyone saying this about that...") has been eye-opening in both good and bad, and it has definitely made me appreciate some aspects of the games more (I want to replay some sooooooo bad rn just to pay attention to some of the things people noted).
Also, coming across some excerpts of my own answers has been funny, since most of the time I did not remember what I had commented. Resulting in me reading the highlights like "wow this person has some really good opinions on this topic, I agree comple-- wait a minute."
You're so welcome! I've also really enjoyed it - reading through people's free-response answers was by far my favourite part of this entire thing
