The results are in, and much thanks to all of you who participated in this first ever survey. I know there were many questions with just as many varied answers! It was not an easy job sifting through all the data as 145 people took part in the survey .Some responses I had to cancel out, like when asked which costume was a favorite and the answer was "all of TRIBE" as I was looking for specific costume choices.
For transparency you can take a look at all the response data in spreadsheet form HERE. In collating the top three responses however, I tallied the total number of responses to get a hierarchy ranking,though in some cases there was a tie. Without further ado here are the TOP THREE results:

I wonder if the opinions of costume favorites might change once you see the presentation delivered on the road. Sometimes costumes look just alright at a launch but look real nice on the road.
My costume made it in the 'Best Female Costume for 2009'...yayyy!!!
*starts wining, next month is CARNIVAL!!*
I knew my costume would've landed on the worst list. Saucy, after carnival do the same survey over and see the responses.
look meh coshchume get honourable mention !!!!
Thanks Saucy, That was fun ..
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family.
yea i agree saucy i think this survey would have been better recieved ater carnival and im sure peoples perseptions may change cos some them worst presentations may come good on de road?? im not feeling the new bands being ranked the worse and they have not been seen yet? or indead a chance to prove themself ie spice, elements and kaotic jus my 2 pence lol
Awesome survey Sauce..thanks for doing it!
Although it`s in no way a scientific poll, IMHO to have done it after Carnival would not have been a good idea. I`m assuming that this was to get initial reaction from the public, and is more of an effort to highlight the creative work of mascamps and their first impressions on people.
One chance to make a first impression!
PS..how about doing that poll AFTER the presentations on Carni Monday and Tuesday, and see the marked differences in opinion..just a thought!
Yay, mih costume is in the top 3 :)
Thanks for this Sauce, even though yuh make mih head hurt trying to recall some of those atrocities!!
BTW: Happy New Year :-)
I agree that the survey should have been done after Carnival and overall masquerader experience rated as part of the presentation. Also some of the results have discrepencies. Some of the bands made it on totally opposite lists.
