deviantMON BIrthday Contest Winners!

Journal Entry: Mon Aug 11, 2008, 10:47 AM

A Weird Idea Comes Home To Roost and Hand Out Prizes

In celebration of deviantART's 8th Birthday CEA sponsored a deviantMON contest.

For people who might still be in the dark, deviantMON are based on a goofy, foolish inside joke that a bunch of us staff members came up with which to lampoon and make fun of each other.

It was so much fun for us that I decided that we'd ask all of you out in the community to try your hand at it and we had a very good response with lots of really amusing entries.

It took a bit of debating but we've settled on the winners;

First Prize
$100 devCASH

Crownapusmon
by =StormyHotWolf88

A prime example of the Wannabe Admin deviantMON this entry caught our eye with both it's character design and it's humorous write up.

Second Prize
$60 devCASH

deviantMON Contest: Loather
by =Foxbane

This example of a deviantART Loather deviantMON captures the essence of this mysterious and confused creature and amused us to no end with it's hilarious write up.

Third Prize
$30 devCASH

Antagonist
by `GH-MoNGo

Few have been able to capture an image of the Antagonist but this entry managed to pull it off and come away unscathed and with third prize.

Honorable Mentions

There were just so many really great entries we decided that we needed to highlight a bunch of other entries as well and we'll also do one better than just handing out recognition by giving these eight other entries a prize of $15 devCASH each.

Thank you greatly for all who entered, we hope that you had as much fun creating these little creatures as we did judging them.

The contest may be over but the template will stay up for use by all of you who expressed a wish to use it for a deviantID.

Pass it around, use it as you see fit and keep an eye out for future deviantMON and AdminMon contests

^{^{All together walk alone
Against all we've ever known
All we've ever really wanted
Was a place to call our home
But you take all we are
The innocence of our hearts
Made to kneel before the altar as you tear us apart}}
