    Hey All

    Sorry about the really really slow output on this. But I've been in China and Korea over the last few weeks (Pics soon I promise ) and with the death of my laptop I wasn't able to do the required work while I was away as planned. Anyway I'm back in London and have my desktop so here we go.

    I received 5 entries (Same as last year) and 3 judges voted on them in order of preference. (a forth judge voted in case of a draw although this ended up not being needed). If a judge voted a park the best it received 5 points, if they voted it the worst then it received 1. Therefore a maximum score of 15 is available.

    A download of all 5 in one zip file is available below the images.

    1) - The Melting North Pole by FK+Coastermind
    Game - LL
    Score - 15 (Maximum Score)





    2) - Merry Christmas by Xtreme97
    Game - RCT 2
    Score - 12




    3) - A89 by Louis
    Game - LL
    Score - 7





    4) - That One Christmas by ivo
    Game - RCT 2
    Score - 6





    5) - North Pole Reindeer by GigaG

    Although its sad to see some unfinished entries i think there was a clear winner here. Its also nice to see an LL contest winner

    I will contact FK+Coastermind, Xtreme97 and Louis about their choices in prizes and I shall post them out ASAP

    Thanks to all those who entered and to the judges as well.
    Once again sorry for being 3 weeks late

    FK's entry came out of nowhere. I haven't seen him around in a long time and I didn't know he did LL. And it's a fantastic entry! That's three times good new. :) Congrats man, you did a great job.

    Xtreme97: the emtpiness makes this look worse than it is. I think it shows promise in some places. The tree was horrible though, I'm sorry. :p

    Louis: Could've been so much more! In an hour you could've added some trees and light theming to make it look less unfinished. I enjoyed it though.

    Ivo: I've been wanting to do something like this for years now, but I never found a good purpose. I can't find the purpose (or the link to christmas) here either... Some good ideas, but it's not enough to headline a map. Bigger would've been better too. :)

    GigaG: I was hoping you did something with last year's feedback... But no.



    All in all, one great entry and some glimpses of greatness in the others. The competition is less strong than last year (and both versions should've been stronger), but still definately fun (even though I didn't participate).

    Hope to see a 2012 competition!

    I'm happy with third place considering how unfinshed my entry was. I'm pleased with that :)

    Well done to everyone else, and really surprising to see FK doing LL :D

    wtf, FK? And LL? Very cool!

    Loved the minetrain roofings in your entry. Made for a nice effect.

    Yup, FK and LL. thanks for all the positive comments.

    I've been away, mostly just under motivated and majorly distracted, but was playing through rct1 and thought I would give LL a go for this fun little contest. Glad I did, really enjoyed making this park. Not sure how much more LL or rct at all I'm gonna do, but I think I'll be back around soon.

    Thanks to roomie for hosting the contest and getting all the cool things!

    I totally missed this topic haha.

    Just looked at the entry of Xtreme97 and I think it is a solid entry. I actually liked the cristmis three the attraction in it. But as Liampie told, it is very bare.

    And thanks Roomie for hosting this contest.

    Sorry, i tried to make the park better, but it was rushed at the last second because i forgot about the contest. But thank you - I've been waiting for this! I haven't checked these out but based on the screens-

    Melting North Pole - Easily the best out of the lot.

    Merry Christmas - Quite good, but there is something i really don't like about that tree - the branches appear too close together.

    A89 - I really don't like unfinished things but this looks like it could have some potential. It really is worse in my eyes because of the sheer amount of unfinishedness.

    That one Christmas - I don't see the Christmas theme in this, but nice for a micro - nice work with small scenery.

    Mine - I tried to improve on my track tree. Note that I am horrible at trees and scenery. But does anybody have anything positive to say about it?
