Welcome to the all new Miscellaneous Avatar Contest Voting Thread! 
The brief..
This weeks theme is Monolithic or 2020: A Space Odyssey
The theme was inspired by the Utah Monolith. The Utah monolith was a metal pillar that stood in a red sandstone slot canyon in northern San Juan County, Utah, United States. The pillar was 3 m (9.8 ft) tall and made of metal sheets riveted into a triangular prism. It was unlawfully placed on public land between July and October 2016; it stood unnoticed for over four years until its discovery and removal in late 2020. The identity of its makers is unknown, as are their objectives.
Following the discovery of the monolith, over two hundred similar metal columns were erected in other places throughout the world, including elsewhere in North America and countries in Europe and South America. Many were built by local artists as deliberate imitations of the Utah monolith.
Here are the entries:
