Old Hollywood Exceptional Awards, and the next Challenge Theme

[whiterider]

You've all had you chances to vote, and the staff have had our chance to look at the results, so what with the Fairytale challenge well under way it seems high time that the awards for Exceptional entries to the Old Hollywood challenge were given out. So here we have the three entries which most Wow'd the members and staff, for their creativity and work...


In no particular order:

For an excellent likeness, and for a whole lot of work put into making extra custom content to match:
Shirley Temple (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=252645): by Aligeth (www.modthesims2.com/creator/Aligeth)!

For a truly stunning sim, instantly recognisable as who she is:
Audrey Hepburn (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=251131): by Vera Marina (www.modthesims2.com/creator/Vera+Marina)!

And for a fantastic idea, beautifully and painstakingly executed:
The Rocky Eldorado (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=250807): by Fresh-Prince (www.modthesims2.com/creator/Fresh-Prince)!

Congratulations and thanks to these three, for sharing their exceptional work, and honourable mentions too for Blank Canvas (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=252467) and naceygirl (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=251203), for their contributions - and, of course, to everyone else who worked hard and came out with one of the many wonderful entries in this Challenge.

[whiterider]

Trophies have just been sent out for the Old Hollywood challenge, so if you didn't receive one and should have done, now's the time to say so. :)

[Aligeth]

I am very touched by all of the kind words, and so happy that people are enjoying my work, and that of all of the other talented creators that contribute here.

Thank you so much, everyone.

Congratulations also to Vera Marina, Fresh-Prince, and to everyone that worked hard and put their creativity and skills to the test for the contests.

[charleeheart]

Wow!! I don't envy the judges who had to decide this one, all of the prospects were awesome!! Congrats to the winners!

I have a general question about how the contests are judged, and I'm not sure if this is the right forum or not?? so please forgive me if I've goofed (again!) and posted it in the wrong place.

Do the Mods actually download the entries to look at them, or is the judging done solely on the posted pictures? Because sometimes there's so much stuff I want to include in my entries, but just can't seem to get it all in the pictures, so I wonder if I should include it at all.

Thanks for your consideration and your answer, and for running the very best site on the 'Net for us Sims2 addicts!!

[whiterider]

We choose the items for a shortlist based on the pictures, post, and the uploader's past uploads (ie if all they've done before is simple clothing recolours and then they go make a fully working hacked and meshed object, that's more impressive than say if someone like Numenor the Great did the same). Then we post a poll in Site Polls (http://www.modthesims2.com/forumdisplay.php?f=37), for the members to vote on the shortlist: and then we decide the winners, taking into consideration, but not based solely, on the poll results. The entries aren't actually tested by staff, unlike Featured items.
Hope that answers your question. :)

[Brighten11]

Congratulations to all the winners! There were so many awesome entries into this theme. :)

[charleeheart]

That makes it very clear. Thanks!

[naceygirl]

Thank you so much for having me in the final five - I'm so flattered and will display my trophy proudly in my little Sim home!

Congratulations to the winners! Seriously, guys, you did an amazing job and I applaud you all! *thumbs up*

[summersong86]

Congratulations to the winners and thanks to everyone who contributed such enjoyable content for the contest. This has been a fun theme. Can't wait to see how the next theme turns out.

[DanteSpida]

Congratulations~~~~~~~~~

[surreptitially]

Great job! You can tell they put a lot of effort into their work, it's beautiful :D

[Aurelia]

Fantastic job guys, really wonderful!

[tiggerypum]

And I wonder why materofallvideogames can't read.

You have already been handed the answer you seek.

[ozireth]

Congratulations!!!

And I might also mention this is my first post on these forums in the year or so I've been using them :) Its been long overdue on my part to say my thanks formally (although I do thank via threads I download from). I'm also not one to talk much on forums, so the whole thing is still fairly new to me, so pardon this if its wordy...

I thought I'd say thank you personally to all of you who have made my Sims discovery a great experience for well over a year! And congratulations once again to the winners for whose contributions have helped make my Sims experience the best possible... /cheers :Pint:

[SorceressKyrsty]

awesome work, evry1... escpecially Aligeth for her Shirley Temple! Couldn't just make the Sim, she made everything! Well done!!

[maphong88]
