Calendar Contest Winners Announced!

You can find the same info in this submission/thumb but I also want to post it out in the open, in a journal here

:thumb342118293:

Please go here to read more: historyofhyrule.blogspot.com/2… That post has A LOT more information. I would highly recommend checking it out before commenting on anything.

Everyone was so great, please join us at History of Hyrule historyofhyrule.com for the event next year, so we can have an amazing 2014 calendar as well!

Links to the "winning" pieces can be found here historyofhyrule.blogspot.com/2… and below, you can find most of the DA entries in the group's contest folder to the left, but every single entry is actually in this flickr set: www.flickr.com/photos/historyo… Please check all of them out. You'll be able to make your own version of the calendar using any of them; so it can contain all of your favorite ones!

I also hope to be doing a follow up post on that blog where I talk about the other amazing entries that also could have been included on the calendar. There were so many deserving ones. But... each and every one of the artists involved only deserve positive feedback; everyone did an amazing job, and these picks were extremely difficult because of that. These are only the results based on my, (and another judge's,) final decision. If you disagree with me, don't take it out on any of the artists. These were my choices, not theirs. I ultimately wanted this contest to be about encouragement. I know 99% of you are awesome and that this hardly needs to be said, but; I know not winning is incredibly discouraging, but please avoid leaving public comments on any of the entries saying someone else should have been picked for one of these spots. If you want to tell someone you feel they should have won over someone else, then consider that notes and email may be a kinder option. Thank you for understanding! ♥

I'll be making this into a downloadable calendar as soon as I can. (I'll edit it in to the submission I posted the thumb for, and I will be posting it on historyofhyrule.com) It will be ready before January 2013. I'll announce it in my journal, in this group's journal, and on History of Hyrule's main site historyofhyrule.com when it's ready.
