The time to submit is over, the time to vote has begun! We've received some incredible entries from all of you, now we need your help finding the best of the best! Head over to Woobox to vote on your favorites! Winners will be announced on or before Friday, 7/27! To everyone who created a piece and submitted, thank you and good luck!
Honestly this was poorly done. Nice concept but the gallery is filled with duplicates. It's obvious nobody is curating since images not related are popping up everywhere. There's also pictures with 0 effort that just rack up space for people who actually wanted to participate. Other than that, the idea of the contest just panders for people to make flashy colors and grin faces for them to get voted. Who spent more than a second to see a crying amumu?
I didn't join because I didn't even know this was a thing, but hey, gotta share my 2 cents.[zombie-brand-clap]
A moment of silence for people who aren't the best shaders and will now be disqualified because the general public prefers color when the contest emphasizes emotions...
"Riot is the sole judge of this contest". Come on, or you could be more honest and remove that line.
Oh well, good luck to everyone who submitted their entires [slayer-jinx-catface]
... this Woobox thing feels super wonky. I'm a confused by the browsing system for the entries. Do the images pop in random order? Why am I seeing so many duplicates?
HALP!!1 [sg-ahri-1]
Holy sheeettt it took me forever to find mine...
[sg-janna]
Damn, I feel that this judging part is a bit complicated in my opinion. Like, not everyone is going to get to see everything, and those who did do an amazing job, will probably go unseen, which is utterly not fair at all for the individuals who worked really hard....
[sg-soraka]
And then we need to take into consideration on the underdogs, vs people who are extremely popular. Like, imagine you have someone who barely did any effort in their entry, get one of the highest amount of votes because they have an insane amount of followers and they asked them to support his/her entry.
You can already see where the biggest flaw of this contest is.... right?
Idk... I truly hope that people who really worked hard will get that deserved win~ ^^ <3
I really, really hope...
Anyways ;v; Good Luck to everyone who has entered~
P.S. This one is mine btw if anyone was curious.... >////< https://woobox.com/f4sis9/gallery/saiElKY4joA
So uh, I went through a bunch of them and somehow a picture of Kanna from Kobayashi's Maid Dragon made it in there.
I'm going to try and respond to a couple of themes here in the thread:
The voting is in random order so that means you may see some duplicates, but random order helps ensue that we are getting even coverage of voting across all the entries.
The community voting is not the final decision because the community will pick their favorites, but we need to make sure any winners followed the rules in full. You will see entires that do not meet all the rules because it's easier to eliminate entires at the end than before voting. The exception to this is entries that did not fit the content rating required of the contest.
When you submitted your entry you should have gotten a link to your submission, but if you are unable to find it, please submit a ticket to player support and we can find it for you.
I just looked through to see mine and I just think this contest wasn’t the best executed. I saw people with multiple submissions of the same champions which therefore disqualified them and plenty of duplicates with people not putting their name in the top right. I’m not the best artist but it sucks to see that most people won’t even have the patience to find my entry because I entered it at the end. Just my two cents. I know I likely won’t win but I’d rather Riot have cleaned up the entries a bit :(
https://woobox.com/f4sis9/gallery/xAFg7-akez4 Honestly what is the point of following rules when most entries have no "extreme emotion" as that was required, they are just simple blank expressions, and there is no order in which you can see the entries, its all mashed up together, so many rules broken. took forever to find mine and what's the point of showing extreme emotion when the contest itself is so flawed.[zombie-brand-facepalm]
I wish there was a way to 'save' the ones you like, then vote between them when you're done looking.
I went through these for like 30mins-1hr and found a ton that I liked, but there's no way I'm going back through them to find them all when they're all like 5 pages apart.
As excited as I was for this contest, the thing that kind of sucks is the system used for submitting entries. I have never heard of Woobox up til now, but some feedback on the service is that they need to have an account or entry system in order to cut down on repeat drawings. I feel bad because I had to enter mine about 3-4 times because the preview showed it as cropped in the wrong way, but in reality it was fine the whole time. There was no system in place to edit or delete screw ups, and that took away from the entire process.
I saw so many I really loved on Twitter, but Shifting through all the entries is so incredibly difficult. Unfortunate as I feel as if the really really good entries have just as much visibility as the very bad entries and duplicates, but since those ones outnumber the really good ones they actually get seen much more.
My favorite entries I've seen (but was unable to vote for) are the Towel Wipe Kindred and Grab the Lantern Thresh.
Shoutout to Silvarspark. I would buy any of those with real money immediately. If that Cassio or Nami doesn't win, the contest is not legit. Riot, hire that guy/gal.
it took me more than an hour to find my entry and honestly it was kinda frustrating lol nd the expression is pretty ironic haha https://woobox.com/f4sis9/gallery/n6anW377pRM [sg-ahri-3]
i hope riot takes there time to see all the entries themselfs and judge instead of looking at votes because i highly doubt that most of the entries wont be seen by people ,they arnt gona spend rediculous amount of time to see all the entries after a few refresh they will get tired and bored .... but oh well,, anyways tx for the contest it was genuinely fun to do :) and i enjoyd it ..and i have seen some great entries out there too so good luck all :) [sg-kiko]
there is also the difference between people who know how to use tablets, and people who know how to use pencil and paper (and just artistic talent in general) [sg-soraka]
Awesome competition. Bad website. Never use Woobox again, please. [zombie-nunu-bummed]
I just wanted to say that I didn't participate to this contest but I definitely like it: the theme is clear but also REALLY broad, and there's a lot of variety in the submissions. Of course there are lots that don't follow the rules, but that's normal with such a large playerbase I guess. I definitely like that there's a lot of variety in drawing skill, people didn't shy away from submitting even if they're not professional artists.
Good luck to everyone! :D
;_; i only just now found out about the contest and did an entry but it's too late! u_u; oh well here it is anyway! https://imgur.com/a/ogAhbue
for a second i thought i might have a chance to get like third place cause i thought only a few people would join. now looking at the submissions i see that my sucess was far less than a pipe dream. see y'all next competition.
I had to go through like 50 page-forwards to find mine. Are these randomly displayed so everybody gets an equal chance, or... is this gonna be unfairly weighted towards those at the beginning of the gallery?
