Wooot! Congratulations everyone!

I wasn't part of the judging process but if all the other entries were comparible, I can see how hard it would have been to pick a clear winner.

Great job!

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi

Congrats to all the winners - all well deserved.
It was a real pleasure to judge so many good entries !!!

Congratulations to everyone who entered the contest. 
It takes a lot of courage to post your work for review. 

Wishing everyone a most wonderful upcoming year!

So what should we do next? Winners did not even receive an email notification or something. 
Also getting to results of the contest is not easy. Is there any way you can make contest page public? We can't even show it to friends since it requires renderosity registration.

Well.... I will refuse my prize again....... It will become a tradition.

Ok first I have to say thank you and I am blown away!
I would like to say a HUGE thank you to Renderosity and all of the very generous sponsors for this contest! You have gone out of your way for this contest.
Also congrats to all the other winners and  all that entered the contest. All the art submitted was wonderful.

Sincerely,
Gina aka Ravnheart

Congradulations to all!!! Everyone was great

Update on delivery of prizes

First of all I'm sorry that this has taken so long but after I made the announcment this Monday I was floored by the flu and haven't been able to do any work at all for the last three days. I'm still a bit shaky and will probably not be up to speed for at least a couple of days.

Due to this things has been a bit delayed. Don't worry, we'll make sure everyone will get their prizes, it's just going to take a few days extra.

As soon as I can sit any longer period of time in front of the computer I will contact all the winners and inform them they have won. I will also contact all the sponsor and provide them with relevant contact information and they will in turn get in touch with the winners and arrange delivery.

Once again, I'm sorry about the delay.
