What a brilliant idea for a competition!  This is sure to prove interesting once the results come in...

At last the polls are open :D

I'm going to vote for .......  ::)
As if I'm going to tell you $%Grinno$%

Seriously though, the very best of luck to all contestants during the voting.
May the best "Village" win :thumbsup:

This is honestly one of the hardest decisions I've had to make!  Amazing work everyone!  &apls

I've voted, but it was a difficult choice. All the entries are really excellent.

Later...

So who was No.40? Will we ever know  :D

Tough call for me, but I voted. It seems at least one other person has made their decision too bringing things up to 41. Not bad. It will be interesting to see how things play out over the next few days.
-Matt

Well Matt is No.40   &dance

Next target 50. Come on guys, spare us a few minutes and have a vote. It will most certainly be appreciated  :thumbsup:

Dave

I voted. :thumbsup:

Guillaume.

Voted!  ;)

I already voted the first day it was possible :P and I didn't vote for myself.

How come I can't see the results of the poll?

It's set like that so we don't know who will win until the results are published

Oh no... the honor of #40 goes to someone else. I pulled 41 with my vote I think. Either way though, it's good to see people are voting. People put some good effort into these villages, and this is just one way to show them some support.

Speaking of support, the total number of votes just hit 50!

Can we make it 60 now?

(emphasis added)

Now that's what I mean about showing support. Though it wasn't a rule (as far as I can remember) that you had to vote for someone other than yourself, it's cool to see people are actually doing it.
-Matt

^ Can't be! I voted minutes after Tooheys message. If I'm not number 40 I must be number 41 :D :D

There you go Dave, I think we just found our number 40!

But for who I vote will remain a mystery...
All I can tell is that it took me several days before I finally decided which city I liked the most :thumbsup:

Quite the bit of activity in the polling station today  ;D

Lots of extras votes - thanks to all who have cast theirs :thumbsup:

Now for the rest of you, here is your chance to cast yours.
All you have to do is scroll to the top of the page and make your choice. that's the easy part ;)
the hard part is deciding which one to choose  :D

&Thk/( if only we had the same number of votes as views of this thread :D


I also want to add my thanks for your support of the competition folks  :thumbsup:

We probably would, if you could vote more than once.  :P

It was close, but I voted for my favorite...

Well we have passed the halfway mark and it's great to see the number of votes so far  :thumbsup:

Should I give you a progress score  :-\ I think not   :P Other than to say that the top 3 are not yet set in concrete. So if you have a favourite but haven't as yet voted, you still have a few days to go.

Thanks for all who have commented. The prevailing comment was that it's a close field and picking a favourite
is tough. I think that in itself shows the effort put into the villages by the entrant's.  &apls

Cheers

Dave

I voted some days ago. It was really a hard choice. In fact, I had three favorites - but only one voice. But I noticed that there were much more villages that look rather than small towns. This was already criticised (is that word right? - oh my english is bad!) in the comp at simforum. But the villages that look like they should are all very well done here.

Thanks to all who entered the contest. :thumbsup:
We had some truly spectacular entries which made for a fascinating contest  &apls &apls

To all who entered, I hope you enjoyed it and will consider taking part in the next one.
To all who didn't enter, thanks for your support throughout and casting your votes.
And hopefully you enter the next one, when it takes place :thumbsup:

:satisfied:

Well, I squeezed in and voted at the (almost) last minute.

I did my voting earlier this week.  It's been a pleasure to enter this competition, as it gave me a chance to build a city with a purpose.

What a surprise for me :o, I didn't believe that I'll be on the podium. So thanks people who voted for me! :)
But, I'll do better the next time $%Grinno$%

Guillaume :thumbsup:

Congratulations Fabian, Yan & sciurus &apls all well deserving entries

Now on a personal note, congratulations Fabian, a great entry indeed  &apls

Yann and Sciurus, well done, a place in that field is a great result :thumbsup:

Hope you will all be around for comp No.2.

Dave

Well done to the winner, and the runners up! Great entries.

Just wondering, any chance to know some more placings?

Waow, that second place is also a great surprise for me, thanks everyone !!!
I would like to congratulate Fabian, I knew he was the favourite when I saw his entry for the first time  ! A well desserving price  &apls
Congrats Sciurus, and congrats to all the other entrants, there was so many magnificient villages in the competition.

Lastly, a big thank to the committee, he was very good at organizing the event  &apls  &apls

Derry

congrats to the top 3, I'll participate again next time as well.

on a side note: I'm actually rather curious at which place I ended

You're right, it could be nice for other participants to know their place :thumbsup:
And another thing, could we know how many votes we had?
I forgot to say: congrats Fabian for your first place and Yann too! &apls &apls

Guillaume :thumbsup:

Congratulations, Fabian, for getting first place.  I also want to congratulate Yann and Guillaume for making it into the top three.

&apls

Congrats to the three placing winners!

Everyone had very good entries and it was a very hard decision when it came to voting!

Ethan

Congratulations to Fabian for an outstanding entry, truly well-deserved my friend  :thumbsup: &apls &apls!

Congrats also to Yann and Guillaume for being in the top three. Excellent work!  :thumbsup:

~ Dan

The winning entries have today made the move over to the Winners Showcase, their new home &apls.

I hope you will will be all pleased to know that there will be a second comp in Feb 2010 and hopefully many more thereafter.
If you have any suggestions as to how this comp can be improved going forward, please feel free to comment in the general discussion thread. Your constructive feedback will be appreciated  :thumbsup:

Also, the current entries will stay where they are for a month or so then moved into the archives (which are accessible to everyone). We haven't determined a time yet but they will be removed completely between 6-12mths. We will give you plenty of notice before this happens, so you can save them elsewhere if you wish.

As for the poll results, the aim of the comp was to find the top 3 entries. We never intended to release the entire poll. I understand that some people would like to see the end results, others wouldn't. As per most major polls on this site, we will only be releasing publicly the names of the winners. However, if any of the entrants wish to know how they finished, feel free to PM me or any of the team and we will let you know.

Dave

Congratulations to the well deserved winner, Fabian93! The region overview pic made it for me, in the final voting. It's just breathtaking. Magnificent, Fabian! &apls &apls

And my deepest respect to all contesters: a really high standard is shown, and from a personal point of view, I have appreciaded and viewed all villages with amazement . It's clearly to me that all you guys have put a lot of effort into it! Without all of these great contenders, no contest. Simply as that.

Finally I will like to thank the staff - the usual suspects - for creating this event. Can't wait for the next competition! Thanx guys! &apls

hey wheres my entry!?  &mmm

Hi all

In anticipation of Comp No.2 all official entries in the Arena have been moved to the Archives today. The entrants' preparation threads have been kept open (these contain the official entries also) and can be used again for the next comp if you participate. Anything in the archives will be cleared after 6mths.

We are hoping to have the next comp up and running early February and look forward to your participation.

More to come soon.

Dave

I voted today. All are very good entries. Each one has a perspective or quality that makes it a contender. Good Luck to all.

Threw mine in there too. There were some good entries this time around. It's difficult to work around just a building or two when there's so much more you might want to show. The plaza designs for the large cathedral were impressive in their variety too.
-Matt

its fabian93 not 96 lol, but congratulations everyone.


Thanks, all fixed :thumbsup: - tooheys

A big congrats to fabian and the other contestants!  Nice work everyone!  :thumbsup:

Well done you guys, that didn't seem like an easy challenge to work with. Congrats Fabian on the win, and the subscription too.
-Matt

Thank you very much, everybody, who has voted for my entry :).
Also congratulations to all the other participants - each one had a great-looking entry, in my opinion  &apls.
Then I'd really like to thank Joan (Jmouse) for donating such a fantastic price - a very kind offer by him :thumbsup:.

Fabian  :)

Congratulations, Fabian!  Two in a row is something to celebrate.  &apls

Congrats Fabian! A well deserved win!

          I voted for your because I didn't feel like voting for my own (that would be a bit narcissistic ;D)

                -Jordan :thumbsup:

Congrats for winning the second thematic competition!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: &apls
