Tyrian Delirium : You definitely have to submit something for the next competition.
In the mean time, please vote on the current subs.

Everyone else voting, vote for yourselves! Vote yourselves up if you want. You're allow to.

Furret’s layout (1) – 3. I like your layout and it’s pretty cool. Lacks a bit of Christmas.
Hidden Phantom’s layout (1) – 4. A very good layout. It’s unique (text box) and I love the characters.
Barathemos’ layout (1) – 4. This layout fits perfectly for you. I especially like the Doge. It’s easy to read too.
Yoshirulez!’s layout (1) – 2. Fun picture and nice music but I feel the picture isn’t really suited for a layout (looking at the text box).
Chindogu’s layout (1) – 4. Nice looking layout, I think text box fits there perfectly.
Surgiac’s layout (1) – 3. Simple and easy. I always like these kinds of layouts.
Barathemos’ layout (2) - 4. Nice layout again! Good quality overall.
Dahaka’s layout (1) – 2. Beautiful picture but I don’t think repeating the picture looks that well for a layout. Also the text is a bit hard to read at some places.
Barathemos’ layout (3) – 4. You sure have talent for creating layouts. Good job on the text box, it’s very unique.
Surgiac’s layout (2) – 3. Too much white for me but I think the colours fit well. I also really like the video game character in your layout.
TornadoMudkip’s layout (1) – 4. Nope, I am not giving myself a 5. I don't think it's perfect but still great.
Surgiac’s layout (3) – 4. Great idea for the text box! I love it.
WandererExiled’s layout (1) – 2. A bit too flashy for me. You have creative ideas.
Dahaka’s layout (2) – 3. Same as your other layout. This one is a bit better in my opinion. (I love your art though).
WandererExiled’s layout (2) – 3. Your best one, it’s unique and simple.
SuperCrash64’s layout (1) – 4. Creative border if you ask me. Too bad that the text box is covering the moon.
WandererExiled’s layout (3) – 2. Too much white and a bit flashy but I appreciate your creativity put in all of your layouts.

Please vote for yourself. It is required for the final results. Be fair to yourself and criticize your layout just like you did with the other layouts.

SuperCrash64 :

Look above. Also you forgot to vote for Furret's layout and you voted for me twice (I entered with only one layout). See my rules post.

Jordanv78 : Could you please help us out? We still need some more votes to decide the winner.

Everyone - you are still allowed to vote today! We need more votes. Results will be posted tomorrow instead of today. Thanks in advance.

I'm going to vote as well ^-^

Furret layout 1 - 3 its a good layout but its something I wouldn't adore.
Hidden Phantom layout 1 - 4 I really liked this one because of the colours and what was going on.
Barathemos layout 1 - 4 that layout I loved it to bits. XD
Yoshirulez! Layout 1 - 2 it was ok...
Chindogu layout 1 - 4 a really good layout here. ^^
Surgiac layout 1 - 3 this is a good nice layout/
Barathemos layout 2 - 5 for me this blew my mind and I love it.
Dahaka layout 1 - 4 I loved this one also but the text board is the problem.
Barathemos layout 3 - 4 another amazing layout done by bara. I always expect the best from him
Surgiac layout 2 - 4 I liked this one because of how bold the colour is and the test box I feel was rightly placed. 
TornadoMudkip layout 1 - 5 if you don't give yourself a 5 then I will to me it was perfect.
Surgiac layout 3 - 4 I found this layout very pretty and christmasy
WandererExiled layout 1  2 I didn't like this one so much sadly. I do see you have a lot of creativity. You have just started doing layouts so the more you do the better you get at it. ^^
Dahaka layout 2 - 3 the layout is beautiful but the best box ruins the whole thing again.
WandererExiled layout 2 - 3 the layout is good
SuperCrash64 layout 1 - 4 I liked this one its a calm looking picture.
WandererExiled layout 3 -3 this layout is ok and a little better than your other ones.

TornadoMudkip :

Well David made an announcement but all the voters were basically competitors, with one or two others. I don't want to sound pessimistic but I think ending it on Christmas probably made it really hard to get votes.

WandererExiled : Actually I made my post about the voting on the 21st. I think I gave enough time for users to vote but apparently not. I wanted to finish with the final results of the voting on the 25th. Now it's difficult because of the lack of votes.

I really want to post the results but Vanelan and I are still discussing things. I hope everything is done soon. Also thank you everyone who voted. I'll send the free 1000 Viz to you all soon.

TornadoMudkip :

Well don't stress out over it! I think we got a good 10(?) votes in. Maybe a few more staff members will take a few minutes to cast in? 

Typically ties mean a split prize, and we had quite a few, but I've paid out the full amount to everyone.
Here are the results:
Barathemos : 1st place entry #2
TornadoMudkip 1st place entry #1 
Hidden Phantom : 2nd place entry #1
SuperCrash64 : 2nd place entry #1
Surgiac : 3rd place entry #3
Chindogu : 3rd place entry #1
Dahaka : 4th place entry #2
Furret : 5th place entry #1
WandererExiled : 6th place entry #2
yoshirulez! : 7th place entry #1

Thanks for entering everyone. Tell your friends Vanelan pays out generously in contests.

Bara, we are contacting David to pay out your prize. He is paying out the big 100k Viz prize. :3

Davideo7 : Barathemos is the winner. Plz send him 100k Viz. Ignore PM if you see this first and vice versa. :3

Vanelan :

Wow I'm surprised, this was a really good competition.


Seeing all the post from above, and Like I said before I
"I think bara's got it secured for first place though.."

Looks like I was right.

Users like Hidden phantom, myself, Tornado, and Chindogu only needed one layout to catch up in the rankings with other members.

That's quite a feat.

Hidden Phantom : Props to you dude, your layout was really well done.  I'm surprised I tied in 2nd place with you.



TornadoMudkip : One layout was all it took to get caught up with bara, but it's well deserved considering how good it looked.

And like I said above it's quite a feat.

Barathemos : You may have won this, but you shouldn't tie with a mudkip unless you really" liek it" that way XD.



yoshirulez! : As negative as this may sound, I'm kinda shocked and disappointed. Your a staff and have access to the advanced layout maker like everyone else, yet you ended up in last place :/.




To everyone else in the competiton, really good and creative layouts. Well done. Good show, good show.


I'm fairly sastified with the result that happened.

And a Shoutout to David Mudkip and everyone else whom made this possible, this was a fantastic idea and I can't wait to see what happens in next year's competition .


Also hopefully the activity and votes wlil increase, voting was kind of a flop for this competition imo.

I'm content with these results. Surprised I still got 5th actually, there were a lot of great submissions. We should definitely do this again next year!

Oh and it was sort of thanks to me that this competition was even a thing so you better thank me (JK, I didn't do anything that special. Full credit to David, Van and Mudkip)

I'm happy with the results. A bit surprised Mudkip got up there to first with just one layout! (even though I tallied it up myself). It was a pretty good submission. I really enjoyed seeing the artistic side of this board.

(not complaining, just observing) I think it was a little unfair to lump those with access to the higher editor with those who are locked away from it. However, there wasn't really enough competition to really make a fuss over it. Maybe next time it'll be considered.

Maybe we'll have an Easter contest? Who knows!

Thanks to everyone who worked behind the scenes to make this work!

Vanelan : Why are you doing this to me, I wanted to post the results! Oh well, doesn't really matter. I still have the full results to post.

Also do you all know about the unwritten rule? Nope? Then I'll explain. Hosts are allowed to enter this contest but don't get a Viz price. That makes Barathemos the true winner of this competition! Congrats Bara! ~

Now the full results. (Note - I didn't count Barathemos' and WandererExiled's votes because they were incomplete. WandererExiled's last edit was too late, sorry).

Thank you everyone for participating! You all made this a success! I hope to see you all in the next competition! Who knows what it will include..

Grats to everyone! I had fun with this competition. My third entry was my favorite by far but I was having a bit of an issue with the alignment of the text box. Where it is now it looks slightly off unless the scrollbar comes into play then it looks fine. If I aligned it to the left slightly, it would look fine now but a bit weird when the scrollbar showed up. Anywho, I'd like to see these layouts in the store at some point.... *hint hint*

TornadoMudkip : Sorry! I paid out prizes and wanted to get a summon to David to pay Bara. ^^;
