I am quietly meditating on the subject.

Oh it just isn't about the prizes. I guess it is the sense of closure, the feedback, the wrap-up, and everything. This was a pretty big event. Just eager to hear the overall results, etc...

Although prizes are extremely fun...:P

Yeah, this was a resounding success. I really have to credit CHEWIE with doing some fabulous work on not only organizing most of this, but his wrap up is definitely nice.

Last summer, the Star Wars fan community lost one of its most spirited customizers, Mike Martinez, known around the forums as Mercuryartstudios.
 
In his honor, three fan sites came together to realize a customizing contest that he had been working on, and the participation was amazing.  We would like to thank the customizing community for such a strong showing in this multi-site customizing tribute to our friend that we miss so much.  The theme was anything related to SWTOR, and entries could be fan fiction, etc. but did need to include three figures.  It was basically a "loose interpretation" of an Evolutions theme for SWTOR.
 
In no particular order, here's a roundup of all the amazing entries...
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Once the deadline for the contest had passed, we had a difficult time choosing a grand prize winner, but our consensus was that the first place winner should be forum member Wookie Balls - congratulations to him for his amazing custom entries, and for his prize - a Sideshow Commander Gree!
 
After that, three random winners were selected.  They are as follows:
 
1st Random Winner - Revanfan1
 
2nd Random Winner - Botwt
 
3rd Random Winner - JediMinstrel
 
In order to claim the prizes, Revanfan1 will first need to post in the forum which prize he has selected from the prize pool.  After he makes his selection, Botwt will post his selection, and then JediMinstrel will receive the remaining prize. You will each be contacted by a sponsor of the contest to make shipping arrangements.
 
NOTE - Since Hasbro's distribution woes continue, the Republic Tank is not available yet.  Whoever chooses that prize will be contacted by the contest sponsors to discuss arrangements.  We will certainly work with you if you prefer a substitute prize.
Thank you again everyone for your participation, and if the support is there, we may look to doing another joint contest in the future.

Amazing entries!!  Those are just entirely AWESOME pieces!  I have no doubt Mike would have been pleased by the participation.  I wish I'd had the time to participate, but I content myself with oogling the fantastic creations!

 :o   Oh my good gosh... Really?? Wow! Thank you so much! It was an amazing competition to be part of and all of the entries were fantastic (I know who my personal favourites were!)

It was great to be part of something done in Mike's honour as well - the competition brought together the community as a whole and I was proud to be part of that too.

Thank you once more,

Kindest Regards

Ray (Wookie-Balls)

Wow!!!  I am greatly honored by the recognition of my customs.  My hat is off to my fellow customizors.  Great contest and I look forward to see what other contests come along.  The greatest inspiration for mine was the birth of our daughter.  If you read the back story on mine, you'll see that she was the central part of the stories.  You may see further adventures of Marianna.

I think everyone that participated in this contest did an extremely awesome job and each of you inspire me to get better each time I try to tackle a custom. Congrats to all the participants and to the winners of this contest!!  :)
I am very honored to have been chosen as one of the winners...you guys truly humble me when you comment on my work, and now that I've been chosen as a winner I am nearly speechless. Thank you so very much for thinking my work was worthy of a winning selection! :)
