Item Design Contests

As an avatar site Crysandrea has hosted a few item design contests where the comunity has had the oportunity to design clothes or accesories and see them made into actual items for the site. The lucky winners would be rewarded with prizes, such as a set of that month's Thank You Items (donation items) and, of course, the satisfaction of their designs having been turned into items that they and the rest of the userbase could use.

Bug Design Contest Round 1 

The first item design contest that centered around making items themed after certain bugs in the site's Forest game began on the 1st of June, 2011 and ended on the 25th of June.

The bugs for this round were: Aquagee, Bombiglat, Dreamleak and Egargub.

The contest was very well received among the userbase, who submitted a total of 54 entries, consisting of 19 for the Aquagee theme, 10 for Bombiglat, 12 for Dreamleak and 13 for Egargub.

Despite there being 4 different themes, users were only allowed to make entries for 3 of them, with 2 entries per theme. Rather than submitting single items, the entrants were allowed, and encouraged, to make item sets, which many took advantage of and created. The average amount of poses per set consisted of around 3-5, although some entries sets contained an upwards of 7, 8, 9, or even 10 different items.

The voting was split into two parts. The first was the internal one, in which the Crysandrea staff took a look at all the designs and selected a number of 10 (or less). The second round was site-wide, the 10 entries that had gotten past the staff judging were put up on a page where the users voted to give them grades between 1 and 5, the entries with the highest score (1 for each category) were then made into items for the site.

The winners of this contest were awarded a set of Thank You Items as well as a set of their own creations.

The winners of the first round are:
