Best idea: Bushmonkey (the way the sand dunes are creeping in on it slowly)

Best design: Exsecratus (detailed, looks like a church)

Best functionality: Zooty (should be no problem placing a character there, don't think it even needs scaling)

Best technique : Afflict (pleasant colours, the rocks in the stream are too uniform though)

Best Idea - This goes to gameboy. A simple, but still unique entry in this competition. It's not the most functional background, but idea-wise, it was good.

Best Design - The winner here is biothlebop. Design-wise, it's very innovative. Looks great, although I doubt it would work too well in an actual adventure game.

Best Functionality - The prize goes to SBsLoVeNiA. This was pretty much the only one out of all entries, that I could see fit to really function in a traditional way. Enough said.

Best Technique - Congrats to bush_monkey. Whereas it's definately not even nearly finished, the technique used in it is very promising. I'd really love to see it finished. Biothlebop was close here.

I'm not bitter that you didnt vote for me, but, is it your place to be declaring winners?

[Saberteeth]

He probably meant who the winner is in his opinion.

[Sam.]

In my opinion, everyone is a winner.

[biothlebop]

Not the ones who do drugs, according to arcade games.

Yeah, I've been using the same formatting and lines of voting in every blitz I've voted in . They're just winners and prize-receivers in my opinion . The font formatting is for emphasis and the short liners with 'sentence + person I vote for' are just liners. I've often wondered if it might be a bit confusing to some people. The problem is that I can't think of too many liners to use. Maybe I should just skip the liners next time .

And I do apologize for not voting for you . Maybe next time.

EDIT: Notice the abnormally high number of smilies indicating my embarrassment.

I'd like to thank all my fans, mom, dad, my coach and everyone with 9-5 jobs. A standing ovation goes to Bush-monkey's pic, for the concept.
As for my entry, it was more of a stream-of-consciousness picture, and it would indeed be a lot of work to place characters in, unless it was used as a first-person background. Feel free to use it though.
New topic coming up.
