these 6 gorgeous tomatoes belong to Iris from Society Garlic
She is a woman of many talents, including being a crime reporter, so watch what you say about these beauties. She's another Austin blogger, so while I say tomato, she probably says tomato, but I have no wish to call anything off as a result. Aren't they gorgeous? Sorry, I'll stop going on about it now.

From Blackpitts, with the following caveat:
definitely nice ones though.

The superior ripening qualities of the French climate are in evidence in Fat Rascal's entry, but even the FR only managed to get five tomatoes. Never mind this show could never be described as "strict", really. Thems beauties. They model themselves in several different locations, too, to show off their Carla-Bruni-like versatility:
Tomato "Tarzan":
my personal favourite, Tomato "Don't Fence Me In":

WH sends these tippety-top class cherry toms, with the following note:
"Technically these are scrumped from my flatmate. If nothing else I think they might clinch the most-in-focus prize?"
Hmm. I don't think I was planning to award a prize for most-in-focus, but on the other hand, the village show must move with these digital times. Consider the gong awarded.

VP's having the same problems as everyone else: "Here's my tomato entry. It's a mummy tomato with her babies - sadly this is likely to be my only chance to enter the this category as blight is ripping through the rest of them :("

These tomatoes could go in for Sarah Raven! Look at them! They look amazing! Easygardener from Green Forks shows off the produce, adding: "Thought I'd enter these before I ate them."
Rubbing our noses in it! 
A final absolutely gorgeous entry from MissHathorn at Mustard Plaster. Aren't they just something else? Six tomatoes on a plate: (clockwise from the top) Omar's Lebanese, Golden Queen, Tondino di Madura, Pineapple, Green Bell, Yellow Ruffles.
And one more from City Girl Colleen at rus in urbis

Are they supermaket toms?
Thanks for entering my tomatoes, Emma. I'm writing a new blog post right now that will link to your emsworth village show.
It's my failed O-level maths isn't it?

oh wait, maybe it's a ref to the fact that there aren't actually six in the "guide picture", right, anon, I'm taking it down.
