You're Welcome Cutiebunny! Congrats on the OP win!

Don't forget to vote in Best in Show! That includes anyone who hasn't voted yet, official voting for Best in Show, ends 12/31. My goal was to get as many votes in as possible! So even if you didn't get to take part in the main voting or participate this year, you could still go vote for the Best in Show! Don't forget to include your Beta ID!

I was also very happy to tie up with Haruka in the Tomboy category, although Rekka totally deserved the win in that one I was rooting for one of us Moonies to take first ^_^ I was actually super amused by the dichotomy. I know everyone is aware and if you aren't you haven't looked at my collection but the majority of my SM collection is Makoto, and I couldn't help myself entering her into both the Feminity and the Tomboy categories because she is both! It also super amused me that I took a silver in both, which goes to show I do know my favorite character best! ^_^
Yeah, Haruka does have her feminine side, but aside from that one amazing harmony cel in her origin episode, you never see it in the anime. Actually, Makoto is one of the characters I often point to when trying to explain how the Sailor Moon characters do not always fit into your standard stereotypes.

On a completely unrelated note... I misread the Rubberslug page and thought voting for Best in Show wasn't open until tomorrow. I'll have to get on that!

I have to echo everyone's compliments about how amazing a contest host Jadeduo has been and how great the trophies look from Animeobsessed. You guys really did a fantastic job at making sure the cel awards were a fun event this year. And for being the sole runner of this event, you definitely went above and beyond the call Jade. :) The RS gallery looks great with all those fantastic entries in it! (Love the awesome banner and use of red toned stripes for the background too. Makes it feel really festive for this time of year.)

I also have to agree with everyone else that there was an abundance of great pieces this year! Voting for best in show was a really hard choice.

I was also surprised to find out that I won a couple of trophies (...in some of the tougher categories I didn't think I'd place in either!) and would like to thank everyone who voted for my entries. One of my favorites is from the tie I share with Majinuub in third for Itadakimasu. I absolutely love that our Gohans both placed together in an eating category! ^_^

Hi Katrina! No worries, that's why everytime I post I remind everyone to go vote for best in show! There have been only 12 votes so far so everyone get out the vote! LOL for an example of Haruka's femmy side there is the scarf eppy VERY Makoto heavy, but she is wearing a lovely pink scarf which she uses it doctor Mako's injury! Oh and please do go vote!

Thanks 90skid, I was glad the event was fun and easy for everyone because that is what I was shooting for! I hope the sketch awards go just as well! ^_^ Also thanks for the compliment in the design I was going for super colorful on the design and I wanted everyone represented in the banner so I just pieced together many tiny thumbnails of all the entries and made it a banner!

I agree Best in Show was a hard choice, there are a lot of amazing pieces in the category! I found what helped me was to go through them individually. Start with the first open up the large image and hit next till the end and then go back and look at my favorites! ^_^

Itadakimasu! Was a really tough and highly competitive category, and I was super happy that two of my fave animes took the top four spots! Milestogo's Usagi chowing down in front of Seiya is hilarious! I also adore Itadimasu!'s entry and of course both Gohans I was sad not to enter that category, however, I was trying to make sure there as few 3 or lower categories as possible when I was putting together entries for this contest!

Thanks again, all and remember Best in Show voting is open go to the RS site, and check out all winners of each category, then click on the survey monkey link on the top to vote for your very favorite! Don't forget to plug in your Beta ID so your vote is counted!

Thanks, m2g, but it's worth remembering that I didn't place in several previous contests before finally getting a first in a short category and a silver in "Worst." Plus a bunch of thirds from time to time. So it's cel-ebriation on this front as well. And thanks to JD for insisting on identifying the anime and the characters, which has been a big help. And overall the contest seems to have renewed some of the chatter that used to make this site a great waste of time for me and others several years ago.

LOL Thanks so much M2G! It is never too late for animated smilies!!! ^_^ :jump Congratulations I have to say that the SM that won shocked is in the top ten of my fave Usagi Cels ever!

Sensei! I am super glad that you placed VERY well this year! Maybe we just didn't have the right categories for you before ^_^

Everyone don't forget to go vote Best in Show, voting is open to ALL Beta Members as long as they remember to put in their Beta ID in the box when voting!

Also don't miss it! The 2014/2015 Sketch contest thread is up! Need some help figuring categories! Let me know what you think! Also still looking for two more volunteers to make the Sketch Contest less of a time suck for me so I can work on my own gallery and be able to participate in some side projects I would super appreciate it!

Best in Show voting only has A WEEK AND A HALF LEFT!!!! there have been only 14 votes so far, there were 39 individual voters for the overall Cel contest! Let's make this part just as successful!

Even if you forgot to vote in the cel contest, go vote for the Best in Show! Maybe we can create an even bigger turnout for this portion!

http://betaawards2014.rubberslug.com/ga ... esID=48241

Also get ready to be geared up for the sketch contest! And go visit the post we are talking about some exciting new rule changes over there!

Re: Annual Cel Contest 2014 - Best in Show Voting! LAST DAY!

Post by Jadeduo »

THIS IS THE LAST DAY FOR VOTING IN THE BEST IN SHOW CATEGORY!!!!

This category pits all the winners against each other to duke it out for BEST IN SHOW 2014! Which I feel is better than most votes, because if there are less cels in the category than of course the winner of those categories are going to win! SO PLEASE GO MAKE YOUR OPINION KNOWN! I will not tell you guys which cels, but there is currently a 6 WAY tie for the gold in BEST IN SHOW! Which means we will have to make 6 AWARDS LOL! And have no one in the bronze or silver category! So go vote!

Even if you forgot to vote in the cel contest, go vote for the Best in Show! Maybe we can create an even bigger turnout for this portion! ALSO ANYONE CAN VOTE THAT IS A BETA MEMBER, EVEN IF YOU DID NOT GET A CHANCE TO VOTE IN THE INITIAL CONTEST!!!

Best in Show did not have the turnout I was expecting... I was wondering if maybe I should run the best in show voting on all pieces concurrently with the rest of the contest... But I think that would be way too many pieces at once to vote on... Thoughts?

Results for Best in Show!!

CONGRATULATIONS to Kamidake for her very beautiful X/1999 Cel entered into the Accessory category! Kudos!

Also congratulations to the second place runners up! There were five total!

Awards are up! Thanks to everyone for participating in the 2015 awards! Keeping to the same schedule they should run around the same time next year, so start thinking up entries I will most likely put the new contest post up sometime in mid September! Also the Sketch awards are starting! I am accepting entries now!

Oh my goodness! I am so speechless. :jaw

There are so many awesome pieces and I didn't even entertain the thought of winning, but looks like I edged out with 1 extra vote! :D Thanks for everyone who voted! (even though sounds like there wasn't very many, haha!) And of course big thanks to JD, I know you worked really hard to get people to vote for the best of show, I'm sure it's probably the holidays and people are just busy doing RL stuff.
