Holiday Avatar Contest!!! WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

Just a heads up folks...

For the next 24 to 72 hours this thread is likely not likely to see all those magic "Heff stars everything posted" stars, as is the custom. This is in no way a slight against the artists and participants.

It's the doggone Mayans and the mess they've created!

Should we all not be vaporized in a day or three... I will return to catch up on the stars and the pep talks. Until then carry on! Well, unless we should all die or transcend.

NEW RULE REGARDING TRANSCENDENCE! Should we happen to shift to an alternate dimension in the next day. All previous entries will be judged in a new category to be called "two dimensional art" and all post transcendence entries will be judged upon the standard five dimensional aesthetic rules.

Have no fear Heff.
I prepared you a stash for your bugout.
If we are still here after TEOTWAWKI doesn't happen, then you can have these for a stocking stuffer!!



Enjoy.....
And see ya on the flip side!!!

I ascended back in 2010 so I'll have to be judged in the 5d realm as well.

Mmmmmm..... Christmas it is and bad you have been. Presents you will get not. Coat gets you.

Coal leads to smoke, smoke leads to pollution, and pollution leads to the dark side....

Entry #10

oops beejebus, I was talking about this thread.

this is the one I have been following/not the other one.

thx everyone.. great xmas avatars and it I reckon it would be hard to choose a winner...your all winners imo cos I am too impatient to ever create an avatar

merry xmas, thx for joyful and some humorous ideas.

And, alas, as fun as it has been, and as it must be....

Thread now closed for judging!!!

Just opening this for an update. Due to the unexpected, totally awesome, and overwhelming participation from you killer bunch of ATS'ers... it's taking a tad longer to get this thing figured out than we'd planned.

Well that and the apparent Mayan apocalypse hysteria that's had the entire staff pounding their heads on their desks and trying to figure it all out.

Barring anything I cannot control ( read, unless I die in the next two or three days ) - we'll have the results ready!

Stay tuned kids... This update was brought to you by the letter R and the number 7. No... wait... I promised 7 to an old lady who came by asking if I had things I didn't really use anymore. OK 4. You guys get 4.

~Heff

OK all!

Thanks for your patience! The counts are done, the votes are tallied, the judgments are done and the winner is....





Going to be announced this evening.

Oh, god sidetracked and forgot to say....Thanks to everyone who made this contest just flat out awesome! This thread is reopened so that ya'll can discuss the contest, avatars, etc.

Play nice.
