Wintersday Contest Winners Announced
Big_Iron
Ekelon
Wow, I really liked all of these that placed top 6. First place is gonna be an awesome hat if it really happens. YAY!
Havre Fras
The first one is, IMO, ugly. The 2nd "mask" thing looks a lot better than the rest of them.
Darksun
I like 4 the best, then 2, then 1.
this was mine.. not very imaginative so I can see why it didn't win:

Mork from Ork
Well I didn't win
Kind of glad though - mine was kinda like one of the hats with the fluffy ear flaps your mom made you wear when you were 10 - everyone would have hated it.
Grats to the winners - they all look great!

pretty cool all of 'em (not counting we're in the 'chilly' season too 
)
I really like the snow orb and the red hat. The grand winner looks as something King Jalis might wear imo

When I saw that 6th hat, I couldn't help but think; Pimp hat!

Very nice. I hope they pull some tricks off on these if they're doing grand prize and #1... like a glow and icy reflection

I like the snow globe (5th) and the reindeer one (3rd) is freaky enough that I think it would be cool seen in game. C'mon now... who wouldn't want their entire head encased in a snow globe! Every time you run the snow flurries start flying around.

Here was my entry... If you were in losing town, you got static one. In winning town the animated. Tried to give incentive to actually doing the stupid events this year. First place one was nice...the rest...wow...just wow.... Must have been the same judge who picked Felix the Charr....
KamikazeChicken
I wonder which winners end up as helms for this year.
prism2525
Wouldn't be surprised if 4 or all of em get in. (dwayna-lion's, grenth-lion's, dwayna-kamadan, grenth-kamadan)
Maybe we'll see somethinng in some GW:EN town? or (i doubt it) kaineng?
Perhaps it's ascalon city again
EDIT: In fact if you notice them, the first 4 are really in the order of Dwayna, grenth, dwayna grenth. 5 is dwayna too, but 6 isnt' so 'grenthish' to me.

The page says it all. There's only two hats this year, and it seems only the winner (the Ice Crown) will be the one in the game. Although it's worded pretty badly.

What is #4 supposed to be?

I like all the winning entries. But I have one criticism towards the number one entry. It looks more like a Dwayna themed hat to me than a Grenth themed hat.
Mister_Smiley
Well they got next years already done, so they can keep working on GW2 and do not have to worry about it! Just a though, i could be wrong...I entered as well, but lets just say mine look like trash compaired to theres.

Darksun you got my vote!! LOVE the whole Candycane reindeer skull thing, perfect for Grenth imho. Maybe the green bit dyeable.....yup I likes it
smorggie
I'm so excited to finally see all the designs, they all rock!
Yeah, I definately have to agree with you there.
Personally I think #5 is the best with the head in a snowglobe haha I would have loved to see tons of those running around Kamadan. The winner was nice also, I'm just a bit disappointed because it's my opinion that #5 is much more entertaining.

Info on the hat (and I thought it was pretty clear 
):
There will be two hats this year. No need to jump between towns four times to get all the hats. There are a total of nine finale events that take place in two towns: Lion's Arch and Kamadan. The "battle" takes place between two gods -- Dwayna and Grenth -- and each of them will give you one hat (one hat, no matter what town you're in), if that god is the winner of that district's battle.
The Grenth hat will be based on Nian's design. The second hat, from Dwayna, have been designed by our art team. The other hats on the contest winners page are from folks who will get prizes, but those hats will not be in the game.
Next year, I hope to be able to have another contest. Who knows? We may have a player-designed Dwayna hat. Or another Grenth hat. Or maybe both!
Edit to add: Grenth is the god of Ice and Death. The winning hat -- and many entered in the contest -- was very well themed. When you see Dwayna's, you'll have no difficulty knowing whose is whose.

Yes she is, she's a very talented artist. You can see some of her work over Nolani Academy of Arts

Congratulations to the winners! Can't wait to see what the design team has designed for the Dwayna hat and how they've adapted Nian's hat.
And Darksun, Kiya, Redd and Kha, I like your hats a lot. They're all very imaginative IMO.

Yay Nian! :: hugs :: Nian does such beautiful artwork, go see it if you haven't already. And she is always so nice! Congrats to all the winners and runners up, I can't wait to get hats this year! (okay so I can never really wait to get hats)
ValaOfTheFens
I realize in retrospect that my hat, a wreath of junni berries, is more fitting for Dwayna. *lol* Nice entries all.

Crom The Pale
Well I like all the entries, its a shame number 5 won't be in the game.
I'd love to see Crom with a globe on his bald head, call me Mr. Freeze

Both would be icy in some way yes? Look at Dwayna's snowman cap from last year. And there's really no other link to Grenth in the winning hat entry other than ice. Anyway, I'm not bashing it. It just feels and looks more Dwayna to me and the other entries felt more "Grenth."

In any case, the winner makes me wanna make a female Ele, get the crystal gauntlets & the crown and freeze stuff@!

Nian's concept is fabulous. I really hope they find a way to not make you bald while wearing it, even if it requires a static male and female hair type. It would be even better if they make it so you can keep your hair.
However, if number 2 is a mask, like it appears to be, that would be an awesome look for characters.
As for the snowglobe, I'm not sure sure if i hate or love it, however i do find it funny.
Overall great concepts and really well done. And for the most part they are in the order i would rank them. Except for the maybe the reindeer one, which should be switched with fourth place.
Fourth place on a scale of detail and artistic rendering however IMO is tied with Nian's for overall winner.

Hyper Cutter
I hope the crown doesn't make you bald, those hats always look awful on female characters...

The Ice Crown and the Snow Globe Hate are 100% win. The rest are good too, as long as I get one of these, I'm a happy camper.
