And the Winners are...

Journal Entry: Sun Feb 15, 2009, 8:06 PM

News

The Staff here at =Realm-of-Fantasy have decided that third place should also be eligible for a subscription, rather than just first and second. The exclusive stock pack from =Nirelstock will now be awarded to the winner of the "Peoples Choice" since that slot did not have a prize.

Voting

Voting of the contestants was by a panel of five judges; on a point system for a piece by piece basis. Each judge voted 1 to 10 on each contest entry; 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. Criteria for voting was on visual style, technique, and incorporating both "Winter" and "Fantasy" elements into the theme of the piece. The scores were then tallied, with the highest being awarded first, second and third place. The next two closest scores on pieces make the honorable mention list.

The "Peoples Choice" was voted on via note by club members; who sent one selection of which piece they liked the most. The votes were tallied and the piece with the most votes is the winner.
