The avatar you enter will remain the same even if you change your current one.

* These are just suggestions:

Personally I don't like seeing the current winners so early into the month.
I think it might subconsciously effect voting for all entries.

On voting: I also would like to see multiple entries at the same time I think someone suggested this. More like the Knuffel feeding page.
The contest already has over 500 entries with only being open since Friday that is a lot of entries to go through individually.

With so many entries, I wonder, how many we will get by the end of the month.
I think maybe expand the winners pool to a Top 10 so we will have more winners on the site and therefore more happy users.

I think it's possible some people are so good at creating avatars they might could sweep multiple positions in a contest. So, Limit a persons ability to only win 1 ribbon a month. Taking only that persons highest entry into account.


* I do like this new format for the contest!
I think it's wonderful having it listed on the top menu bar.
Again these are only suggestions.
Please as always do what you think is best for the site.

That's already the case. No user can win more than once per month.

I'm not sure about adding more winners per month, but I do like the idea of seeing a Top 10 kind of thing, just to see what other submitted avis were the closest. "mchappy"

That's actually what I first thought of when I saw "View current leading entries". I thought it just meant, seeing which avis had the highest ratings so far, but not necessarily the top 3.

I agree! And I'll add that it might be a good idea to not even show ANY of the scores until the winners and chosen,because some might see that one particular avie wich isn't theirs is getting a high score and might rate him with 0 on purpose to lower the score.
Maybe you should only be able to see your own scores?

And I was wondering about the numbers in the score, is the first number your current score and the second number the amound of people that have voted? (ex:2,25/177)

Oh and someone suggested adding the abbility to comment on the avies, so you can get some feedback and such, and maybe only the owner of the avie can see the comments people have left.I think that might be nice too =3

Otherwise, even though it sounds like I'm complaining a lot XD I love the design of the avatar contest, and I think its nice that there are 3 winners (I don't think more are needed).I also think it makes it easier for people to participate, wich is awsome.
I love that the username isn't shown until you've voted (although some people like LCK,Penny,Themis or Ziaheart have such distinctive styles that it's easy to spot their avies XD :qh: ), and adding a description is really nice too ^^ (although I suck at it).

Oh and one last thing! I kinda miss Firn chosing the winners, and for those who might be worried that some might cheat, maybe we could add a special award (doesn't have to be a different medal, it can be the same) that's like "Firn's Fave"? So there could be 4 total winners, 3 voted by users and 1 voted by Firn? Or maybe top 1 and 2 voted by users and top 3 chosen by Firn? Dunno :qhehe:

You tend to do a lot with the same boarders Chaos... though with the new boarders that has changed things up a bit.

* I do think more people are able to access the contest now and that is good thing.

Same xD
I tried to throw 2 random ones in there this month that I tried not to make look like me.
I don't mind it, but now I feel I should have used my best avi's instead of trying to look different. Lol

D: How is Themis easy to pick out?

For those who don't know - This is Themis
