Do we not get to see the graphics other people made? I always think it's nice to see what different people come up with when working from the same theme. Ah well...

I think Participants should be allowed to see the other entrants, because then they can learn how others got more points in certain areas than they did, and how to improve for the next round, to see what we're looking for.
 
As you wish.

Comments: I chose the theme love and wedding, simply just because I came cross this amazing quote about May while doing my research 'a month when they who love must love and wed'. Even though they says weddings shouldn't be held on May, I still think May suits for weddingd the best, of all the months.

Sorry for the delay in posting Sweet May's results: I received a copy of the entry at midnight local time and pupin posted the results at 4 am so I didn't really get the chance to respond haha :p
Nevertheless, I have sent on the scores to pupin, it will only slightly effect the scores as I gave Sweet May a 49/60.

Also, remember that it is perfectly fine to ask any of the judges why you got a particular score, by PM or VM preferably. Good luck.
 
Asif Giggity leaves the forum and doesn't say goodbye to me! Ummm, pupin, wouldn't this mean that Everest has no partner...?

I have made a special deal with Everest and as he has not had any complaints that I know of, we can still continue. And the total of points you can earn has also been slightly altered.

My entries for the icon round, and my scores aren't there. Is it supposed to be like that? Sorry if I seem rude.

You were so early with your entries I didn't see your entries when rating and PMing.

I am sorry for this inconvenience and I will try to have this fixed as soon as possible.

Again, sorry.

This time, Northern Lights couldn't judge.

Actually i'm half way through judging, I just needed the forms - I can't complete judging in just 24hrs I was away all yesterday due to Dentist appointment and visiting relatives.
Plus, I disagree with the points up there, so i'd like my input to even things out.

EDIT: Add them or not, I want my scores to be known to the participants.
