Annual Sketch Contest 2016!-WINNERS ARE UP!!!!

[nowherekid85]

Hmmm ... just found this spot and only now saw this. Too bad, I have a neat one to submit but maybe next year ...

Yeah it's too late to enter now, but next year it should be held around the same time of the year as well. The thread will be global so it will be at the top of any section that you're viewing in here so keep an eye out for it. If you collect cels, there is an annual cel contest as well, that usually takes place around December/January.

Actually I usually start the Cel contest in November as that is the slowest time of year for me at work! It's a heck of a time organizing anything this time of year when I'm busy ^_^ But you should totes join it when it happens!

[nowherekid85]

Voting has officially ended!! Thanks to all who participated in the contest and voted!!

Winners are scheduled to be announced next Tuesday the 31st! There is a chance we may be able to announce everything on Monday. A couple of us are going to be really busy with conventions over the weekend, including myself, who will be going to Megacon starting today, and it's time for me to start getting ready for the con! So I will be adding the survey results to the RS gallery and updating all the entries with owner's names etc on Monday.

[nowherekid85]

I know everybody is anxious to find out who the winners are, and I am working hard to get that all done today!! I had a super busy con weekend and have been playing catch up with work and this contest since yesterday. The awards are almost all done being made as well, just waiting on the last set of them to be sent to me. If all goes as planned, everything will be announced this afternoon!!

[nowherekid85]

Ok guys the RS site is finally updated with the winners and awards so go check it out!!!! There is only one winning piece that I am waiting on the award to be remade but it should be posted tomorrow.

Hi.
Thanks a lot to you and your team of helpers for running this nowherekid85. I appreciate the time and effort you guys put into this.
It was fun to take part and vote on as always.
It was cool to get a few placings as well.

Anyway, thanks again.

[nowherekid85]

You're welcome x! Congrats on the placings and congrats to everyone else who won something too!

[JWR]

Congrats to all those who entered as well as though that picked up an award.

Sorry that real life took up so much on my time I missed getting any artwork rescanned to enter before the even extended entry time. I did at least get to vote and several that I pick did win.
