April 23, 2009 | 12:32 pm

Exciting news, folks!

If you’ve been waiting on tenterhooks for the winners of the get-a-colonoscopy movie competition put on by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, we are happy to inform you that the results are in!

“The five winning videos — featuring a stirring survivorship story, a probing puppet and a sinister character named “Colon Polyp,” among other compelling characters — were selected from a pool of more than 60 submissions from contestants spanning 18 states and the District of Columbia,” the center announced today in a statement, and "represented a wide variety of styles and genres.”

Check out the winning entries right here. (A colleague highly recommends “Adventures in Colonoscopy.”)

Enjoy! (And get a colonoscopy if you're of the right age, etc. Information from the American Cancer Society is here.)
