Contest: VOTE June Art Contest - Final Poll

[Cyfa]

Wow! An exhaustive list indeed, M. I did once try and find all the art challenges to see what the themes had been (back in December when I won and didn't want to pick a theme already worked on) but gave up less than half way through, so I think your efforts here are pretty stellar! Now I'm going to have to put aside some time to click all the links

Ooooh that's very nice! Perhaps you could make a new post with this list and sticky it?

Thank you! And yes, that's half the reason why I did this, too. To get an overview over which themes we already had, so that I didn't chose something that was already covered. But then while doing it I really began to understand what a huge thing this actually is and how long this has been maintained.

Yeah, I thought about crossposting in in the “Ideas for new contests” thread.

BTW, the new contest is up here.

Congrats, M! I will be honest -- I voted for BJ. I love the diversity (i.e. ANdoria summer still being WInter!), but M was a close second in my heart. I appreciate the close contest, but belive there was NO Russian hacking in the results -- they were fair and square!

M, just three suggestions for the July (and future) polls:

1) Please pin the poll when it is up (it can be unpinned soon after we finished voting & commenting)
2) Please post a link on the July contest instructions thread (so those who are watching that thread will be alerted to a new contest....I have been used to the contests NOT starting on time or "early")
3) Please post a link to the NEXT contest on the July voting page, so we can jump right on it.

Sorry I am sounding lazy...but the watched threads help me stay current with things, and create an urgency for me to react.

Thanks!

Oh yeah -- and this would be a great idea too. Thanks so much for this resource!!

Thank you! And that's okay. I won't hold it against you. *adds @Morpheus 02's name to list *

Yes, will definitely do. I have to say, though, I'm not always sure pinning a thread really draws attention to it. In fact, in my experience, people tend to ignore the group of threads pinned at the top of the forum. Especially on a forum where we got so many pinned threads. Honestly, I developed the habit of just scrolling past them to get to the other threads. But maybe that's just me.

2) Please post a link on the July contest instructions thread (so those who are watching that thread will be alerted to a new contest....I have been used to the contests NOT starting on time or "early")

I actually did in my last post before yours.

But of course I'm glad to post it again: The brand-new July challenge is located here.

Oh yeah -- and this would be a great idea too. Thanks so much for this resource!!

You are very welcome. I had fun compiling the list. (Although, formatting it for the forum took way longer than I expected.)

About making it another pinned thread at the top of the forum: I'm really trying to reduce the number of threads up there. Ideally, there'd be a single consolidated thread for the forum-specific rules, FAQs, contest rules, list of past contest and resources. I think I will create one in the next weeks. Well, at least that's the plan.
