Da sind sie, meine Tipps für dieses Jahr. Anstrengende Sache dieses Mal, denn ich gehe doch relativ unvorbereitet in die Veranstaltung. Aus diesem Grund habe ich dann teils aber einfach mal was gewagt, statt wie gewohnt auf Vernunft zu setzen. Die hat mich ja sonst auch nie sehr weit gebracht.

Fett und unterstrichen sind meine verbindlichen Tipps und das H♥rz markiert – soweit vorhanden – meine Wunschkandidaten. Die entsprechenden Gewinner werden ich im Laufe des Abends farbig kennzeichnen.
