:snowman_with_snow: SNOWMAN CONTEST WINNERS

Hey everyone, thank you all for participating in the contest and community vote! There were 118 responses this time.

This contest had a lot of entries, and I tried to organize the entries in a way that allowed them to be appreciated better individually.

Each snowman was put in a group of 3-4 entries and voters were asked to vote for 2 entries, and so each will win units/placement based on their group.

There aren’t any extra points for this contest, but prizes were slightly adjusted, and there is a staff highlight section to show off some pictures that weren’t visible in the vote.

:snowman_with_snow: STAFF HIGHLIGHTS

I just want to use this spot to highlight @Mr.clocktower 's post, as the original image was very dark and may have been difficult for many people to see.

I also wanted to highlight @GoopGoop 's snowman (fighting the snow dragon) that wasn’t visible from the front in the vote.

Thank you all for participating in the contest and vote, and units will be distributed shortly!

:snowflake: If you want to participate in another contest with a bit more time to work on an entry, the Winter 2024-25 Condo Contest is open for submissions until January 22nd, 2025.

This group voting system actually feels a lot more encouraging to enter! Out of curiosity, how were the groups decided? This seems very similar to the whole “league” idea I had earlier for these contests where they’re grouped up by condo exp. :open_mouth:

And thanks for the feedback @Kirbyrocket. I decided the groups based on sub-themes (like “classic snowmen”) or similar qualities (props, amount of snowmen).

We did discuss the idea of separating the vote based on past Condo Contest wins as well, I just don’t think that always makes sense based on the variety of entries, but it may be something I try in the future too.

I did a little bit of some research, and there’s a common trend between getting Top 5 in a condo contest and the number of condo EXP they’ve accumulated. While I don’t have the spreadsheet in front of me, the average player in the Top 5 of a Condo Contest typically has 15,000,000 EXP (or Rank 1500) in condos.

With leagues or groups, others might not be as discouraged to enter as everybody can be a winner in their own category like they are here. Plus, it takes a loooong while before you can even get to that big league where some of Tower Unite’s elite builders are. :trophy:

OH MY GOSH I WON!! :face_holding_back_tears:
I want to thank everyone! This was my first Tower unite contest!
so as a thank you, I wanted to give some facts about the snowman “Bob Frosst”
There are 33 different canvas parts just for the painting,
26 different canvas parts for the snowman,
7 rocks for the face, 4 grass patches for the brush, and 1 wooden easel.

Once again, I want to thank you all. This has both made my year and birthday, and I feel so incredibly thankful to this awesome community!!
