Thank You to everyone who participated in this contest! We got a massive amount of entries, and will be hard at work judging them in the days to come.

Feel free to continue to post pictures, but do note that any pictures posted after this post will not be judged.

How we lost the Alliance Battle [Spear of Redemption] VS Spears of Redemption

darn, didn't get this one in on time

Ohnoes!! you stole my precioussss, nasty hobbitsesss! :P

Had a laugh about Rick though :P

Great drawing, but I thought a sonic fan would've done Chaos instead of Chaos (plural of chao XD). oh well

thanks but im not a sonic fan :P

it just popped into my mind arbitrarily, really.

Close the contest out a little better this time.

I have now finished archiving all the photos for judging. Between this website and GWO, there were over 530 submissions!!
The next step from here is to contact my judges, and have them work on judging the submitted images. Just to let people know, this will probably take a while. With over 500 images to judge, don't expect this to be done in a week. While it would be nice, it's not really possible to ask that of other already busy people.

There is some great news, though. Shan had mentioned earlier that we were able to increase our prizes by adding 10 extra prizes of 4 ecto each... Well we've decided to buff it even more. The 10 extra prizes will be extended to 10,000 gold, 4 Ectoplasms, and 1 Obsidian Shard. These prizes will be distributed to winners of surprise categories!

Feel free to continue posting images, though. I will probably throw a couple into this thread for kicks and giggles.

My thanks goes out to Shanaeri Rynale for publicizing my contest, the long list of many donors who so graciously gave their time and money to create an amazing prize for our winners, ArenaNet and Regina Buenaobra for listening to my idea and supporting me by posting it on the official Guildwars site, and of course a huge thanks to everyone who participated!! You guys turned my little idea into a raging success. I can't thank you enough!

Just thought I should say, if I do win (hopefully!), I will not be here, or on Guild Wars, until August 18, so if that disqualifies me, don't bother judging me.

and thank you for the creative event

Can't wait to see the winners, I stopped checking as there were too many pages to look at

Yay prizes! Thanks for the contest :]

I like the whale of doom.

good luck to everyone

I'm very excited!

Hello All!!
Thank you SO much for participating! I had an amazing time reading this thread and watching everyone submit entries. Unfortunately the judging to longer than expected, but we got there none the less and have some great winners!

To start with, we created 5 addition categories to place extra winners into. We had so much fun judging them all, that we couldn't possibly just leave it at only 3 winners.
The first category was Humor. This was as simple as which image did you just keep coming back to? Which one did the judges just find hilarious.
Second, we chose Creativity. Being a contest based on creativity, some extra prizes for it seemed fitting. This was for those images that took a very imaginative approach.
Third, Simplicity. This category was for the images that got straight to the point. Where you looked at the it and the skill and thought "Well... can't really argue with that."
Fourth was the strangest image category. We wanted to create this category for those images that interpreted the words in a manner that was completely different and we NEVER would have thought of... an idea that totally took us by surprise.
Finally, the best Mangling of the original text. This category was for the images that took the most creative liberty with the actual text of the words that they were illustrating.

So without further adieu I'd love to present our winners!
Each winner in the following categories gets a prize of 10,000 gold, 4 Globs of Ectoplasm, and 1 Obsidian Shard.
Humor:
Headbutt from Sjeng (Guildwars Guru)

Shell Shock from Arden Kindlecorpse (Guildwars Guru)


Creativity:
Diversion from Arduinna (Guildwars Guru)

Simplicity:

That's actaully not a bad play on words. My imagination with puns sucks bad. Well at least I don't try to be a comedian.
