Fourth of July Contest

The results are in for the Fourth of July Contest we held this month. First, we would like to thank everyone who entered. And those of you who entered and didn't get in the top three, we are giving 10 blogger points for your time, effort, and good work! We got some really good entries this month, and especially for how short our contest was (about 2 weeks)! Ok, now's the time to announce the winner: The big winner of the Fourth of July Contest is...Drum roll....ERAGON.SAPHIRA!!!

Points this contest: 88.5/100 (Record for highest score! The score she beat was made by Arin3 during our Arbor Day Contest)
Total points ever: 229/300
Average points points per entry: 76.33

Eragon.Saphira, an author of this blog and dedicated member, was the winner of this month's contest. She helped judge last month's Summer Contest, and she entered and won this one. It was very close between her and Arin3, who got second by a mere 4 points. Eragon.Saphira, in the 3 contests she's entered, managed to get in the top 3 of each one. She now has a record for highest number of points (88.5/100) in a contest, and she also is our only entrant without a creation to get a higher score than someone with one (and she's done it twice!). Without a doubt, her creative skills are beyond ordinary.

What the judges thought about Eragon.Saphira's entry...
"I liked the firework pattern very much. I thought the avatar fit the occasion perfectly and got me into the spirit of the holiday early."-SuperBen21

"I was really impressed how awesome the fireworks looked against the dark, starry background. It must have been difficult to make the firework display line up on four different sticker modules. Great job!"-CheshireCat150

"I didn't pick Eragon.Saphira because she is nice and an author of our blog. Simply, I found that her entry was perfect. Her page consisted of sticker modules. All the sticker modules had the same background- the Mars sticker background. This is a background everyone gets when they join MLN, so anyone could make something like Eragon.Saphira, yet they didn't think of it. That, of course, is not the only thing on the sticker modules. On the first three rows, she used a blue star and the Bio code Skrallshield sticker to make a big firework which exploded in the first row in the middle and moved to the left and the right. On the fourth and last row, she has used the "vroom" caption sticker to add some text, namely 'July 4'. In the end, I gave her a 10 out of 10 for overall look. Let's move to the second factor of judging- the avatar. She has used the 3 colors that are used to celebrate Independence Day (red, white and blue). I also gave her 10 for her avatar, because all the colors were used to celebrate this day. With a smile, I gave her another 10 points for colors, the third factor of our judging system. I was very surprised with the entry, and that was the reason I've gave her the best points. Because she didn't have a creation, we couldn't give the points for the creation. I have to congratulate you, Eragon.Saphira, with being chosen as the winner. I hope you also enter our next contest to make your score even better. Good luck!"-Sim533
