Yup, we finally have those ^^

Will I tell you right away? Of course not, I love torturing you :P

Just kidding (stop throwing rotten vegetables!)...after a long and heavy to do vote (and please, next time, try to be less good, judges had a though time deciding), here are the results of the Symbolica contest.

The judges :iconkarenee-art: :iconbranislavcrvenkovic: :icondejan-delic: and myself decided this:

RED DRAGON BOOK
From a Fairy Tale
by :icongenevevex: with 52 points
[link]

BLUE UNICORN BOOK
Look Around, You're Different
by :iconkiarar: with 55 points
[link]

GREEN GRYPHON  BOOK
Perseverance
by :iconstuwaha: with 57 points

:iconstuwaha: also got a piece of custom jewelry from :iconlovelyruthie: as her entry had most favs among the winning works, at midnight, Oct. 30.

........
To keep this contest clean and objective as possible, judges used a points system to decide. Four categories carried each 1-5 points and all those points were summed for each participant. You can read more about it in my last journal, here:
[link]

By this, I eliminated the possibility of "liking" some entry more and giving it points just for that. Three of the judges are professional artists, one is a very serious amateur.

Why am I writing all this? Well, I hope you like the winners...but, as it usually goes like that with contests, I'm sure there will be different opinions on who would suit better and why...what I plead is: please respect the winners and their works, they deserve that :)

And if you possible don't agree with our choice and think your entry was better, remember: there will be other contests and prizes (some maybe soon ;)), so there will be other chances for you to win my books or other prizes I might provide.

On the end, thank you all for entering. You were more than great :D
:heart: :heart: :heart:

On the end, one feature:
Wonderful :icondaroz: won a 4th place on the Fantasy Sci-fi Fusion Contest and got a feature from me. Unfortunately, it happened that I don't have my premium anymore, so instead seeing his works in my journal, go to his gallery...Trust me, it's quite worth of your time :) Enjoy!

Congratulations to the winners.

Oh, by the way, I entered the contest, and I just wanted to ask you how the judging process went about with my piece, The Fool. Here's the link: [link]

When commenting, can you comment on the piece's page, instead of responding to the comment on this blog? I would really appreciate that. :)

In addition, I believe that my entry had the most votes, so I'm rather confused with the judging process here. ^^;

Thank you for your time! :wave:

Oh, no problem, of course I will answer it there too :)

As for votes, I don't know what you really mean by that...there were four judges, all voted 1-5 in four different categories, for every work. By those votes, you came 4th in your (blue) category, 8th in general (but that doesn't really counts).

If you mean *PlanetRuth's prize, it was chosen among three winners and how much favs they had on Oct. 30.

By the way, love your work, its one of my personal favorites ^^ Hope you will enter my future contests as well :)

:heart:
