Just curious to those who've already won through the Gallery contests. How are the prizes rewarded? Do they contact you via email? About how long did it take?
This will be good for anyone else who searches the forum for information on this.
Thanks in advance!

I'm curious. I was browsing the store and saw one of my renders there with "gallery contest winner" on it. What is this about? What do we get? :gulp:
Congrats on being a winner. Even if the prize is just a digital pat on the back! :)

Nice! How do you know what place you got?
100%, 50%, 25%... Out of how much?
still no pinned thread for that?
week 1 winners with Prices and pics...
week 2 winners with Prices and pics...
etc
You should have gotten an email from Britney or Jared about it with the info. PM jared if you didn't get it and he'll get you sorted out.
So very happy for you Hellboy- but not at all surprised :) Your work is always stunning.
Cathie
I wonder if the winning renders appear as per chohole graphic. IE.
!st, 2nd, 3rd. or are they 3rd. 2nd. 1st. maybe they're all joint first as they are all winners. Yay, a three way tie!!!!!!!
:)

Thanks, There's no rush, since Ka-Anna seems to be wondering the same probably the just need to sort it out later for everyone, just wondering how it works.
$100.00 = 100%, SO I put in around $100 worth of Daz Originals and got the whole lot free with the winning code. Hope that helps.
and for the record I got a email from Brit via the ticket system with my codes.
I wouldn't mind a digital pat on the back. Just being able to send your friends a screen shot of your render on DAZ's homepage is enough for me!
Thanks, somehow I thought % instead of $. :P
No problem but I wasn't sure myself until I tested it. :)
The second part for the prize I got a % I got £25 off $50 (50%) worth of PA products But as cho noted above it depends on the placing.
Congrats, Hellboy and Szark, and the other past and present winners!
Thanks Scott.
WELL... I'm a little tiffed at this whole gallery winning thing.. this week the SAME PERSON won 2nd AND 3rd prize!!!! They are lovely renders... but... I don't think the same people should win all the time... I don't know WHO's doing the judging.. but they are not fair!!! I'm sure out of ALL the renders in the gallery the judges could have picked 3 DIFFERENT winners. I've noticed this before... There should be an only once a month winner rule or something to give others a chance to win.. I'm tired of seeing the SAME people win the DAZ contests each week.. Specially when there are LOTS of other deserving renders... I think the judges play favorites... :(
Then there's two out of three skimpwear chicks thrown in my face every time I go to see the New Releases. SERIOUSLY. On a FAMILY FRIENDLY SITE this is just ludicrous. I'll say it again- get the gallery winners on a GALLERY page. Let the rest of us shop without having to scroll through butts in our faces.
Agreed.... makes you wonder WHO's doing the judging... they are the same pose too... Come on guys... Get real!!! sheesh.
...I remember there used to be restrictions of just how many vouchers one could receive/win in a single month for gallery submissions to avoid just this sort of issue. I know they are still working things out but this is something that maybe should be a priority to make it fair for everyone who submits a work
In the past the only gallery which had actual judging was the PC Gallery, all others offered voucher credit but only for a submission that was selected. If I am not correct, only a single work by an individual artist would be accepted each month per category even if multiple submissions were made. Also, under this structure, one could only receive an award once in a given month and category. Unfortunately with no access to the old gallery site, I am unable to verify all the rules that were involved and must only rely on what I can remember.
Congrats Hellboy and Szark, two of my fav artists here ;-)
maybe someone dun goofed?
The best render should win no matter who's it is. If the best renders don't win it's not a contest. IMO anyway. The winners are nice renders. I don't care for Pin-Up stuff or staged poses but I have to admit the winners deserve the prizes. You don't just discount someones work and give it to someone who did not win and cheat the real winner out of their deserved prize just because they win more than once.
Having said that, where are the great renders that are not pin ups or half naked people?
It only became one voucher for a single work per gallery entered after a fuss was raised. I know cause I started the fuss. For one month 2 people won a total of 19 or so picks out of total 30 for one of the galleries at $25 voucher per pick, another single person won another 5 of them. So 24 or so of the 30 open spots in the gallery were won by 3 people. At the time, the judging was voting for favorites by everyone, and it was found that the voting could be farmed, a few of us tried experiments with that.
I guess it's based on number of likes..

...ah, thank you for the background and clarification. I vaguely remember something about that but wasn't all to clear on how the selections were made. I think in total I received 3 vouchers, ever, for gallery submissions because I knew I had to put the best I could out there. Two of the pieces were submitted only after several people mentioned I should put them in the Daz gallery.
I'd still like to see the old categories return, as back then it was Daz Studio vs. Daz Studio, Carrara vs. Carrara, Bryce vs. Bryce, etc which evened the playing field a bit.
now we could start the endless discussion whats best and who is able to judge
a contest of art is useless
a contest of craftmanship may have it rules
or maybe a contest who has the best machine or the best Software to use
so whats best?
I guess it's based on number of likes..
When I thought it couldn't get worse... I log in and are faced with the same person winning both second and third price... Can't even find words for how damn disapointed I am... atleast not words that are fitting for this forum...
I'm not a judge in this contest so I can't say for sure, but some contests are judged "blind" without respect to who created the image. Which is a good thing, as art should be judged for its own sake; if the reputation of the artist was a factor, that wouldn't be fair to the vast majority of contestants. Personally I'd prefer to see three different winners though, for sure.
That having been said, I don't want to take away from the excellent work by luannemarie and rebelgraphx. Those are outstanding renders, absolutely deserving of recognition. Congratulations to both of you! :)
