Bullroarer Took Contest Winner

I almost fell of my chair when I clicked the link on the Dev Tracker of the Lotro Forums to the announcement of the Bullroarer Took Screenshot Contest 2012 winners. I was sort of semi browsing the forums and halfway a conversation with someone else in the room when I burst out in laughter yelling “that’s my screenshot!”. The other person, being my partner, had no idea what I was so excited about, especially since we were in the middle of discussing income taxes.

Yule Outfit Contest 2011 Winners!

Over 150 entries later, a solid voting process and a little debate, the outfit blogs Lotro Fasion, Lotro Stylist and Cosmetic Lotro are very proud to present the three winners of the Yule Outfit Contest 2011!

We received an overwhelming amount of entries, and the enthusiasm and care that most  of you put into creating a beautiful outfit and making good screenshots was very tangible. All of the entries were winners in my eyes, just for the sheer effort that was made. However we could only pick three.

All outfits were screened before entering the contest. Unfortunately we had to disqualify a few because the screenshots didn’t meet the minimum requirements. From the valid entries, each blog picked three favorites, so we ended up with 9 finalists. These 9 finalists were subjected to a rigorous voting system where they were judged on the 5 criteria mentioned in the contest:

  • Representative of the Yule or Winter theme and spirit.
  • Originality of the overall design.
  • Integration of the various pieces used.
  • Blending of dye colours.
  • Overall impression.

The outfits were judged on each of the above criteria and given a rating between 1-5 points per category, so the outfit could receive a maximum of 25 points per vote. With three voting blogs, this adds up to a maximum of 75 points total that an outfit could receive.
After this process the following winners emerged with highest marks on those criteria:

PAX East Mount contest winners

So after a week of receiving one beautiful outfit after another, the dreaded day came that I had to sit in judgement which ones I thought had all the right ingredients to win. It was really hard, and because I didn’t want to just randomly pick something, I defined a few criteria that I thought would help me judge the entries. I subjected every outfit to the following scrutiny:

  • blending and coordination with the PAX mount colour scheme
  • integration and harmony of the combined pieces
  • originality
  • overall impression
