Yes folks, it's that special time. Time to kick back and enjoy the works of art that your fellow forumers have come up with. There were ten entries in the WYSIWYG contest, and all of them were quite nice. You can download a hastily thrown together compilation of the entries from the following post since I don't appear to be able to attach it to a poll. After you've spent some time playing through, please make sure to submit a rating for each of the holds.

The usual stuff applies: vote your own entry a 10 since chances are that's what everyone else is doing. Try to vote all other entries as fairly as possible. If you need a reminder as to what this contest was all about, you can find that here. From that thread, you may want to base your voting on the following criteria:
1) How fun, interesting, and creative was the puzzle, and how important was the selected element to it?
2) How creative and interesting was the room image of the element?
3) Did the room elements that made up the picture integrate with the puzzle?

But you can pretty much vote however you see fit. Some folks elected to extend their designs to the entry room. I tried to preserve this whenever possible. You can chose to either consider or completely discount this in your voting.

Voting will close on... oh lets's say some time on 1st of July (Happy Canada Day!) At some point after that I'll pretty up the rooms in the middle and everyone will have a chance to make adjustments to their rooms before sending it of for HA consideration.

Here's the compilation hold. I'm working on something for the middle but, but the ten entries are scattered around the perimeter.

EDIT: Just a comment on the room titles. Since most of the contestants came up with names for their holds, I changed the room titles via scripting to make it easier to remember which entry is which for voting. One of the hold names had the architects initials in the title, so I left it as untitled above to preserve anonymity. Please do not count this against that entry in voting.

This is an incomplete set of demos for those having trouble. It's missing Ortho Outpost because I don't even begin to understand it, Giant Gentryii because I'm terrible with gentryii, and Winter Skippers because I'm wondering if it's even possible. Perhaps posting this will summon blorx for the remaining demos?

Blorx has been summoned.

Note that for winter skipper, I could have used the keg instead of the two puffs at the end, edit: I could have used a keg and a single puff making the actual room more lenient and easier than I made it on myself, just because I like stupid self-imposed challenges.

Well the results are in. You even had an extra second to vote. The entries were all really quite nice, and I have to admit that every single entry had something I enjoyed about it. But let's get to the bit you've all been waiting for:

(Drum roll)

The winner of the 100 rank point grand prize and Smitemaster's Selection credit is Jeff_Ray... with his outstanding entry, Kaboom Canvas. Make sure to contact Pinnacle about that SMS credit Jeff!

The second place and third place entries go to the same architect, D.Craven_0ne, with the impeccable artwork of Winter Skippers, and The Gent. As is customary when the same architect takes two places, D.Craven_0ne will get the 50 rank points for 2nd prize and the 25 point 3rd prize will be passed on to our 4th place contestant.

Speaking of which, disoriented will be walking away with 25 rank points for a smart 4th place entry: Now Please Turn Your Attention to...

Additionally we have two architects entering a contest for the first time: PigmyWubba, and DimWiddy. Usually the first time contestants in official contests get 10 rank points. This contest was an unofficial one, but I'm still giving both of you 10 rank points BECAUSE I AM DRUNK WITH POWER!

(Ahem)

Below is a list off all entries along with their authors for those interested.

2N, 1W (Spirit of Gold Mountain)                      LeoS
2N (Now Please Turn Your Attention to...)             disoriented
2N, 1E (Seeing Double: The Big Skipper on the Rocks)  KingCookie
