Congrats again to everyone who entered and especially to the finalists above.

Hipshot's Hammerwatch game will be given to all the finalists so I'll be emailing all of you with a Steam activation code for it.

1st place, you have you choice of the Wacom tablet or the graphics card and 2nd place will take whichever wasn't chosen.

The cash prizes will be distributed as well to 1st through 3rd. I'll email you all about this as well.

I've attached the final scoring sheets from all the judges. Please feel free to check their comments and to verify that I've actually done the scoring correctly.

Thanks again everyone!

Congratulations to everybody, I think in the end all of us won something by entering in this competition, maybe it is some trial-error experience, a prize, portfolio info, friends or anything else, but definitely you don't get the exit of this process without a sort of strong impressions.
Thanks for the event, mav, let's expect the next one being even better

PS: Some data about the final map pack being released? Am I in hurry to update my map?

Congrats to all. Thanks to the judges for their time and comments. I'm hoping next year
everyone will come back.

As far as the final mappack goes, I'll go ahead and repackage all the maps on October 26th. If anyone has any fixes for their map please complete them by then (or contact me otherwise so I wait). Hopefully that date works for everyone.

Should be enough for me

Congratulations to winners. And also everyone, who are completed his maps.
I'm hoping next year everyone will come back.

Congratulations to all final participants and especially to the winners.
I enjoyed following this competition and hope to meet everyone again next year!

I'm hoping nobody will take my critics personally and that they helped in one way or another.

Just a bit sad that syncerror didnt took his time to check the new maps out.....

Congratulations to everyone.
And a big thanks to Maverick for hosting and organizing these contests!

Just an FYI: all prize emails have been sent. If you are reading this post and were one of the 8 finalists and have *not* received an email from me please contact me as soon as possible and we'll work things out.
