Thanks! I have spent a long time dabbling in photoshop. Not so long ago I remember having no clue how to do anything.

I love your avatar choice as well. It makes you think.

Thankyou for helping to re-size my avatar chissler!
Much much appreciated!

Happy Halloween to everyone and good luck.

First off, THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to create an entry and submit it to our competition. We have seen plenty of submissions for this competition, and a lot of new faces. Truly excellent!

The competition is obviously closed at this point, and it is in the hands of the judges. I'm hoping to have the results announced by Sunday.

Be patient, and you will all know as soon as I know.

Thanks again!

Good luck to all, the avatars were great.

Will we be seeing the results posted up soon chissler?

My original expectations were for this evening. But with legitimate reason, there is a bit of a delay. These will be announced early in the week.

We have had a few judges respond, and those that are still in the process, will be in touch soon.

...The tension builds.

RESULTS!

First off, allow me to thank everyone who has participated. This year's competition has seen a huge turn out and I do consider it a success. A lot of new names, fresh faces, and plenty of talent.

No, that's ok. Completely unnecessary. But thanks for thinking of me.

Additional Winners...

After discussing a few things with our panel of judges, some additional points have been handed out. We're looking for our scariest avatars! Given this is of a Halloween theme, a few points for having an extra scary avatar is certainly in order.
