Yeah, I was just going to say we can pretty much call the contest now. At this point we're just trying to find out who comes in second.

I don't think this was one of the stronger contests. I wasn't particularly jazzed about my entry, either.

So the contest is over, right?

Cool!

As for a "wish", with the recent popularity of Black Panther, how about a Black Panther mask?

Seems like more than a few of these could be disqualified....

Ideally, it would be great if you could just move a slider, or if you could select from a color wheel, so you could get the exact shade you want. But that might not be feasible.

Just to be clear, can any movie that was nominated count, or is it just winners?

Who would have guessed there would be more Logan Paul entries than Trump ones?

Also, who would have guessed Logan Paul would become a thing.

So, time to vote? Where are the entries?

Okay, so I've discovered the pattern. It involves creating a text box, and deleting it. It doesn't matter how many items are involved. The spin function works fine, but once you add, then remove, a text box, it no longer works.

I thought that was a tin foil hat!

By the way, when's the next contest?

Cool! I was happy with how my entry turned out, so I'm glad other people dug it.

As for a "wish", how about a Ghosbusters proton pack and trap? From the original movie series, that is.

Just wondering, but was the Queen Elizabeth entry always the front runner in terms of votes? I wasn't paying attention, until I saw they were way ahead of the pack.

Has anyone else noticed this? Sometimes, usually when multiple items are involved, I find I can no longer spin an item I want to move.

I think it could, though. If someone saw that Hitler or Trump was already done, that might motivate them to think up a different entry. Especially when similar entries sort of cancel each other out.

That's why I think it would cut down on similar entries if you made it so that entries were visible as they were being posted. That sports contest had like five Muhammad Ali entries.

Quote from Janina

After 5 pictures I can already tell the amount of Hitlers will be high in this one...

Are figures like Hitler permissible? There are so many controversial leaders, one reason why I find this contest difficult.

You don't think calling someone an "elitist douchebag" is hostile?

Eggyslav, that was an unnessarily nasty and hostile post.

Janina I get that there might be some who are less than talented when it comes to this sort of thing, but these people also are getting votes for their entries, in some cases even leading in the voting category. I guess there's no real way of discouraging that, though. But for me, the fun in trying to make an entry is pushing the available pieces as far as they can go, sometimes using them in ways they weren't intended for.

Just a question, but could future contests prohibit the use of preexisting designs? What I mean is, if your entry is Batman, for example, I don't think it's fair that you can just use the Batman designs that are already available. I mean, where's the creativity in that?

The entries are available, but how do you cast your vote? *

*Edit, you can vote now.

Also, some oddly violent/profane entries, this time around. My entry seems quaint by comparison.
