Memorable. The Judges asked: Will it Age Well?

Is it Musical? Lyrical; Loveable; Laughable? Any Alliterations?
“Special Consideration” was given if the nomination included a Dairy, or a
Cheesemaker in the name. “Consideration” also given if the nominee was an actual
‘homer like Mark Tauscher or Steve The Homer True. “Consideration” also given if it
was a Wisconsin Cheese, but we love all cheese.
