I'm sorry, but the contest has already ended. I don't like the 'everyone is a winner' stuff, because it just isn't true. Sure people may have learned something and enjoyed themselves in the process, and that could be considered 'winning', but then we could start calling anyone who gets up in the morning or sticks his head inside a fan a winner. If you're not among the winners, you are not a winner. If you want to be a winner, try again next contest. And I have had this opinion since long before I started winning stuff, when I lost in an art contest (and I've lost quite a lot over the years) I considered myself a loser, and was all the more determined to win next time. So yeah, I prefer 'If you don't win this one, don't give up, there's always a new one. And if you keep trying - and you're even moderately talented - you will eventually be among the winners at one point.' over a lame 'everyone is a winner' (no offence) any day of the week. Just my humble opinion. [EDIT] Meh, not much point to this post, really. I just wanted to have it said.
