Uh? Does this mean one single person can get all prizes with their different entries?

Yes.  >.>

21 of those entries = Me.

=P  I haven't got any phrom you Phrack.

Less than 2 hours to go!!!  O_O

If you still need some judges, I can be one.  I couldn't get any shots together   But love all the Matrix movies!

Thanks Rav, I've sent you a pm.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Time's Up!   No more entries will be allowed!

Over the next day or two, I'll be arranging and uploading to a special album on mxospace, and the judges will be judging.  Winners will be announced this weekend.

We have some phantastic entries!

Thank you all for participating!

Well I know a lot of you have been waiting to see what we have, so I've uploaded all the entries, so we can all see.

We have 4 judges.  Judges, if you will study the entries, and start picking your phavorites, I'll email you with phurther instructions later.

It's time phor bed now... whew.

The upload to myspace appears to have altered the photos I sent you; their nice contrast is gone and replaced with a washed out look... They look completely different now.

Phluff, I hope that you are showing the originals/screenshots that we've sent you WITH NO NAMES to the judges. So it's unbiased on who made them.

This is one of the reasons the contest was to be based on how they look like a scene from the movie, and not judged on quality of the screen shot, and photoshopping was not allowed.  Myspace has never been good for quality images.  It has a size limit, so it does do a little adjusting on size and quality.

Absolutely... no one knows who the images belong to, and that will not be revealed until the winners have been chosen.

Heh Yeah. I am not to good with Queues and prompts lol! Syn was getting a little frustrated to say the least. But no doubt it will turn out cool!

Frustrated? I had all day but when you get some people together that wants to help but also wants to pvp twenty minutes is a long time for them, ya kno'.

I'm not trying to be nasty here but I hope none of the ones of just a building or certain scenery or from the opening cinematic win, when you can see that a lot of people have put effort in to match the characters poses to certain scenes, I mean heck that one with Seraph and Sati is amost perfect if the guy had had a Agent disguise on!

Dojo Screenshot FTMFW!

Subway, Code, and Sati were great too!

the Seraph/Smith/Sati one was pretty good yeah, Agent disguise would have fit better. That one is my favourite besides the trainman one.

Great contest Phluff!  Can't wait to see the winners   All the entries were very good.  Hope you give out some cakes!

Thanks Rav!    I've only seen them allow this kind of thing once a year though, but more often would be nice.

This weekend I had to search for the shipping tubes to handle all the posters I'll be sending out.  Got them last night, and all the prizes are planned to be shipped tomorrow, Monday.  Each winner will get a tracking number from me by email tomorrow night if all goes well... and should receive their prizes by the end of the week.

I'll also post here again once everything is on the way.

It has been great phun handling this contest, and I'd not hesitate to agree to do it again.

/phormalcurtsey

All prizes have been shipped to the winners, and tracking numbers emailed or pm'd to them!

Thank you all again for participaing, judging, and oogling at the talent.
