Have the winners of the contest been announced yet - last thread I could find on the subject announced that the contest was over and that the winners would be announced on June 18 - it is now the 25th - Have I missed the announcement??

Yes you did, she annouced it in the gallery and here. Here I shall quote: Well, it took a panel of three judges (myself and two people who are not familiar with Renderosity) and a vote/points system, but after some grueling decisions because everyone did so excellently, the contest winners have been chosen! I would like to be the first to congratulate the winner of the first prize package, Ariah! All of us agreed that her unique magic formation is what was so special about this fantastic piece of art! I have uploaded the winning picture here: http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=697087&Start=1&Sectionid=1&filter_genre_id=0&WhatsNew=Yes Also, for our superb second place winner, I would like to congratulate Predatron for his formidable image that contained so many wonderful details and of course no one could resist that cute little girl and the toad! There were so many people that also came close to winning, I'd like to give a bunch of honourable mentions here, who are the other people that recieved votes from our judges: Prog Fogge Calum5 Paintgirl Cylithera dido6 Doodles Ferguson FlyByNight InvisibleSun jlneveloff lupus Well done everyone! Thank you so much for participating in such a fun contest! Don't feel bad for missing the thread....they get buried so fast around here.
