Dear Citizens,
The first stage of the Day 4000 Media Competition has ended!
There were 6 entries to qualify in the first category, Best Forecast for Next 1000 Days:
Cloudy with a chance of….Wreckingballs
The Economist ~ What next for eRepublik?
Ten Days of Mayham Becomes The Norm
At first we debated whether Shawtyl0w’s article, Ten Days of Mayham Becomes The Norm qualifies for the category, as it was based on suggestions more than anything else. In the end, we decided to include it in the voting list.
However, neither his other article, Hey Plato We Want In-Game Forum!, nor sf petru III’s Airepublik entered the competition, as they did not fit the theme of the category.
So, without much ado, the winners of the first category are:
1st Prize: Spite313’s The Economist ~ What next for eRepublik? - 200 Gold
Runner-up: apostol1322’s Cloudy with a chance of….Wreckingballs - 150 Gold
However, because we really enjoyed the submissions a lot, the Board Members decided to offer two Special Mention Prizes of 75 Gold each! The two lucky entries to win a Special Mention are:
Asterios C’s This World is Not New and
Prince of Austria’s [PoA][PF]Into the future
We have also taken a good look at the comments section, browsing through your feedback and thoughts. While we were planning to reward up to 10 comments, we only found two that we considered worthy of endorsement - Printsy’s and SaeedSalar’s. They will receive 40 Gold each.
Congratulations to all the participants to the first category! Winner or not, you are all invited to participate in the next categories as well.
Don’t forget that the articles for the next category, Best Memories from the New World, should be submitted in the contest’s forum thread by Daychange 4019 in order to enter the competition.
Good luck, everyone!
