Judging this contest was a lot harder than expected. Not only was it difficult to find personal favourites in the contest as there are many great entries, but all the judges had very different opinions. But we finally managed to settle down with this winner list.
The contest originally had 2 categories (one bonus category with my handpuppet), but since the puppet category only got a few entries I decided to merge both categories into one.
And the winners are...
1st place: Widowmaker! (200k + 2nd year birthday present + Varesh minipet)
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2225
2nd: Winterzcall! (100k + 2nd year birthday present + Charr Shaman minipet)
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2227
3rd: Morag D! (75k + 1st year birthday present + Necrid Horseman minipet + Jungle Troll minipet)
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2241
4th: Perynne! (60k + 1st year birthday present + Necrid Horseman minipet)
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2217
5th: Haloghost! (55k + 1st year birthday present + One flute of +1 energy)
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2235
6th: StarrTheInsane! (50k + Rat minipet)
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2221
7th: Tzu! (45k + Pig minipet)
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2223
8th: Ero Chrono! (40k + Devourer minipet + One red iris flower)
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2233
9th: Elite Zeon! (25k + Devourer minipet)
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2231
10th: Redstar, Magna Carta, Minelle Tempest and Owoc (20k each)
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2219
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2237
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2239
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2214
And a final entry worth mentioning is Winterzcall's second entry: http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2229 (we could only choose one entry per contestant, but choosing between winterzcall's 2 entries wasn't easy at at all as they are both really good)
---------------
Congratulations to all the winners! We'll hold a little event giving out all the prizes to the winners on Saturday (26th April) at 14:00 (2PM) UTC in Lion's Arch International District 1.

I'm sorry if that time is an inconvenience, but I had to choose a time where I knew all the judges could attend as well.
If anyone won't get the chance to attend the event, just send me a message ingame (my ingame nick is Sanra Sprinkleworth) and I'll give you the prizes.
If all the winners could post in this thread with their ingame nick (or send me a PM with that nick), that would good. That way I can confirm who you are, and I won't have random people saying "Hi, I is winner. I can has all prizes? ^,^".
Also, there's the extra optional prize in the big old bag of prizes. If any of the winners woud like anything from this list just let me know: http://www.tzarsectus.com/contest/REWARDS.txt

congrats widowmaker, awesome work!
wooot! yay!
so I gather that UTC is the same as GMT, which is good cuz that means no calculation for me
but is that with or without daylight savings? that always confuses me...
btw, I'd like Kerrsh's Staff, if that's ok

btw, I'd like Kerrsh's Staff, if that's ok UTC is never affected by daylight savings while GMT is. I think that's how it works anyway. Timezones can be so confusing, especially with daylight savings...
Okie, I've written down that the Kerrsh's Staff goes to you. Let me know if you want anything else from the list.

Do I add 8 Hours to 2PM? or some other way? Since there were so few Fluffy entries they got merged with the main list. So I combined the prizes from the main list and the fluffy list into one.
And yeah, if you're UTC+8 that means it'll be 10 pm for you.

I have a spare Kerrsh's Staff to give if it helps.
Myself, I'm torn between Mallyx Savagery and Scepter of the Keeper (my main on account 1 is a dervish, my main on account 2 is a necro).
But if anyone else really needs either of those, that will make the decision for me.

no worries about that staff, its really just for my heros as I hardly play anything but paragon anyway. I could just as well do with, say, Kanaxai's Mallet or the Skybringer. whatever

I'm going to agree, I had no idea that everyone knew each other well, I felt, just like a complete stranger as well...
In fact, I still feel like a stranger every time I post on this forum, since I rarely post at all...I think I should change that...
In other thoughts, Material Contest, woo!!!
And- Wootness for that band we kinda formed, after, a couple of people left... Crap, forgot the band name...

Here's a concept for the material contest:
There are different divisions for different materials. When the contest starts you find out how much the materials are worth (that's going to fix the amounts rather than waiting until the end and having to come up with extras). The winner of each division gets an amount of that material equal to the cash value of every other division's prize. (Ecto division obviously gets very few, but for what it's worth, get's the same in value as the person who wins the bone division).
Each division represents a different aspect of Guild Wars. Bone would have a death or Halloween theme, wood might have a nature theme, steel or iron would focus on a war theme, and so on. So figure out of the whole list of materials, you only wanted to use 10 different kinds, and have possibly 10 themes. 10k worth of each material is a modest figure, but just an example. Best of each division gets that material. Starting out, people might think, "Ooh, ECTO! I want to draw one for that." But they should realize that every prize can potentially get them the same amount of ectos on a trade-in because they're all worth the same. For better odds of winning, people will branch out and produce an array of different themes for you.
You set some sort of common link, like it has to be this character in that armor. For even more fun, choose 12 materials and from the winners you can make your own personal calendar. Geez, this sounds like fun...I may try it sometime if no one else does.

Like those suggestions though, especially themed to the materials.
As long as there is a plant fiber section....
