Twilight Princess Contest

… well, you’ll have to go and see for yourself

>>>>> GO TO THE RESULTS!!! <<<<<
??????

The judging has (finally) come to an end, I hope you didn’t grow tired of the waiting. We sure grew tired of all the numbers and data, but at last we finished it, and the winners are soon to be announced.

We can already say that the top 5 (or so) is a pretty close call, as is always the case with contests like these, but we think that the judging went perfectly fair, and that everyone has been dealt the points they were entitled to receive.

Expect a neat page soon with the best 20 works, all with a little commentary added to it by some judges, we hope you are looking forward to it!

UPDATE: Luckily for us, the position has already been filled! Expect an announcement with some information about the new judge soon!

In the middle of the judging process, one of our judges has decided not to be a judge anymore. He made clear when we had contact that maybe he would be unable to judge, and that’s why you haven’t seen an announcement post about this judge.

So now we’re in a little trouble here at lildragon.eu: all the scoring process was carefully calculated for 5 judges, namely Epo, lildragon, Sythiar and Saiyagina. The one judge we are missing right now, should be someone that can be described as a Zelda Artist.

The profile we are looking for is: You are an artist who loves to draw fanart, especially Zelda fan-art. Preferably, you have played a lot of Zelda games, and you know what the Zelda look and feel is about. Needless to say, you can’t have competed in this contest to apply to be a judge (unless you disqualify yourself of course). If you think you got what it takes, please help us out and mail us at epo [at] chello [dot] be, or leave a comment.

After uploading the last artworks we found in our mailbox, the contest is now officially over. We will not accept any artwork from now on, and the judging process will begin very soon.

First we’ll have to contact all our judges and explain to them very carefully how to judge all the artworks. Then the judging process itself begins, this could take a couple of days. Then a post will be made about the winners, and soon after that, a page will be made with the 30 (or so) best works, with a little information.

Stay tuned and let us know what you think by commenting!
