I didn’t participate in the contest, so I have no skin in the game but I have some remarks regarding the judging of it.

First place is an upload that the person had previously uploaded to another site. Does that not break judging criteria rule #2? He literally has “voted best design in cults” at the top of his upload, so obviously it’s been around for a while

Second place is not unique or flashy. There are dozens of the same identical design available on the site and other sites. How did the judges not see this?

This is a very simple remix of the person’s own design? That goes against rule #3 in the judging criteria. It’s a remix with a different image on the face, the same as changing text from “christmas” to “happy birthday”. It’s LOW EFFORT and should be banned from contests.

The arcade machine, super well done. That is baller.
The other entries, well deserved (except the glasses really).
BBL please be consistent with your judging vs rules or clarify them very well before running any more contests.
