The time has come to announce the results of the Org Avatar Contest. The winner receives a copy of Medieval 2: Total War from The Creative Assembly, with the runners-up receiving a copy of a soundtrack from CA as well.

The avatars were judged by a team of combined Org staff and CA staff. There were many fine entries to choose from, with only a hair's breadth separating the finalists from other entries. Thanks for the great participation and the brilliant work you all did!

Overall Winner:

Because of the high quality of work throughout the contest, there is a very good chance that some of those not mentioned in the awards above will be contacted to have their avatars added to the Org's collection.

Excellent work all, and congrats again to our winners!

Whoah.......thanks guys. I would be lying if I said I wasn't really expecting that but then again there are other great works here besides mine. I'd like to congratulate Wario, Midnight and Prom for doing such a great job too. You guys really put in some good effort and I admire that.

Also props to all the other participants of this competition. It been a good one. Cheers!

What about the other non selected avatars ? will be used them too or just a selection of them that more likely fit into Org theme? If so Can I use my Conanish themed Avatar?

I've been in contact with the forum admins and we're slowly grabbing many (not all, but many) of the avatars that meet the basic requirements (border, size, portrait). Soon, soon!

I believe Tamur is working on making a number of the other avatars available for use. (The avatars will be ones that fit into the Org "theme", as you put it.)

There's probably going to be quite a few of them, so we should have a pretty good selection. (There were a *lot* of great entries--it was pretty difficult for the judges to decide the winners.) :thumbsup:

EDIT: Never mind, Tamur beat me to it. ~;p

Just a heads-up: if people want to use one of these avatars as their own, TosaInu has posted instructions on how to do it:
