Softies Central hosts a wonderful contest called the Softie Awards. The second annual is now well underway with over 500 pictures already submitted! Check out the plushy goodness in the Flickr pool. You have until April 18 to submit your own softie.

Here’s one of my favorites from the Softies Awards contenders. His name is Phillip and he loves Bob Marley. How cute is that? I love Bob too. I dig the boxy head and all the details on this guy. He looks so happy and relaxed. Let’s get together and feel all right! Phillip is made by Emily Molloy and you can check out more of her work on her Flickr.
