Idea - Loominous
Atmosphere - Mordalles
Design - Mordalles*
Composition - Loominous
Technique - Mordalles
(Functionality - Mordalles; honorary mentioning: cpage)

* This one nearly went elsewhere because I don't think the designs in this piece look Mayan (or tempelish)...it could have used a bit more cultural research to make it really shine. But not taking that into account I decided to like the individual designs well enough to grand Mordalles this vote.

I really like both of your entries. Loominous, your BG is nice too, but I think it's way too bright and blurry.

Whatever happened to the functionality category? Feels kinda important.
It's included in Composition now. I merged them when I was hosting, because I felt that it's impossible to think of the composition of a game background without considering it's functionality (if the composition of a game  background isn't suitable for a game - it's a bad composition, even if it looks good). So it's more like I was trying to get rid of Composition category, rather than Functionality, because it falls somewhere between Design and Technique. I also like odd numbers. :)

Mordalles did an incredible job with his, gorgeous yet enigmatic. Loominous, however, won me over with his feel/style/atmosphere. Great job to the both of you.  :)

(Also, Dualnames, yours is probably my runner up to loominous when it comes to atmosphere. You did pretty great as well  ;) )

Oh, sure zyndicate, I'm just disappointed at myself for this entry, it's not my standard really, so I'm not up to par to judge. I wanted to go and comment on everyone's piece and stuff, I think that makes the blitz more interesting. I'm gonna refrain from commenting as I'm not sure if anyone agrees with me. Great competition nevertheless Zyndicate, despite the fact I screwed my entry by rushing it, I had lots of fun.

My votes:
Idea Oraxon
Atmosphere Mordalles
Design Loominous
Composition I'm gonna hold my vote for this category as I'm tied here.
Technique Loominous
