Contest: VOTE November Art Challenge - Weather (Whether) the Storm - Restart - Please Vote Again!!

[Starscape]

(If you voted in the original poll please can you do so again, here. Thank you.)

November's Theme challenged us to look to the weather for inspiration and there's certainly been a lot of that about lately. So, before we head onto December's Festive Challenge here's your chance to help choose November's winner.

Weather (Whether) The Storm
Whether in space, planetside, or in a holoprogram, show your favorite characters braving bad weather. Alternately, show them enjoying their favorite season or climate conditions.

We have THREE weather inspired entries for you. The winner of the vote will sport the "Fan Art Challenge Winner" banner for the remainder of the month and has the honour of hosting December's "Aliens Stole My Reindeer!" Challenge.

Also, if you have any Theme ideas for future Challanges you can add them to January's Theme Suggestion Thread.


Here are our Weather inspired entries:

@Cyfa
The Lower Deckers encounter Moopsy clouds!

@Michael
A Ferengi in an umbrella hat

@Starscape
Poor Boims, weathering the storm in more ways than one.

Thanks for voting.

There's one day left until the poll closes... a few more votes could change everything around in the results.

Congratulations on taking this home, @Starscape! Very well-deserved.

By the way, at some point I will try and update the running list of past contests with all the ones I've missed adding these last few months. Maybe I’ll get back to you if I realize I can't figure out the series of events anymore.

Nevermind, I think I got it all up to date now.

At some point we’ll have to figure out what to do with the July and October contests (the two still pinned to the top of the forum), both of which only got one wonderful submission each, and both of them by you, @Starscape.

I’m inclined to close them both down in the near future, if there’s no additional submissions, and declare you the winner by default in both of them. Which would make us tie as the top contest winners of all time, by the way. What do you and what do others think?

Also, I’d like to take this moment to say thank you for keeping this going this year. You’re the best!

Thanks, @Michael! And thank you to everyone who entered and voted.

@Cyfa's Moopsie Cloud's were a great (if terrifying ) idea and @Michael's umbrella hatted Ferengi brought back some fun memories - my grandfather had an umbrella hat that he used to bring out and joke about with when I was a kid.

Thanks, again, for updating the list @Michael.

I can think of one contest back in Ptrope's time where we had a default, single entry winner. So, there is a precedent but I feel conflicted commenting on it since it would give me those wins. I'd be okay with the declaring them uncontested/no-winner, if that's a preferable compromise.

Interesting! You know, when I made this I was totally unsure if I had made that thing up or if I had seen something like this for real at some point. Funny that these kind of hats really exist.

Thanks, again, for updating the list @Michael.

Gladly! Always feels good to catch up after some time and see just what cool contests we had. Someone more crazy than me could probably input all that data in Excel and make some cool charts showing when participation was at its peak and stuff like that.

Let’s do this: I will bump both threads and ask for submissions again. And if we don’t get any by the end of the year, we’ll just declare you the winner by default, which would be totally fine with me.

Sounds good to me!

~ I like this idea (but I'd also be fine with giving @Starscape the wins). It might also suit someone who doesn't have an idea for December's challenge but does for July's and/or October's
