13.5: Snowflake Entries – Winners Announced

Posted on Jan 5, 2012 by in 1728, Results Posted

#13Winners Announced!

First Place: Nujabez

Quite a mesmerizing fractal-esque snowflake of perfect six fold symmetry. It’s hard to capture with words the impression that such epic snowflake leaves. But such detail and flawless symmetric contrast was constructed slowly with very small subunits, if any at all. The background takes no attention from the snowflake itself. To Nujabez are two sets of Zen awarded.

Second Place: YoYoBandalore

Finally, YoYoBandalore, the Lance Armstrong of Zen Magnet contests, did not win first place. Instead, a close running for second place. Similar to Nujabez’ snowflake, a well photographed, single large and detailed snowflake dominates the entire frame, at a skewed angle, with a near birds-eye perspective. As usual, YoYoBandalore’s combination of photographic fidelity, composure cropping, and build ingenuity, caught many spectator eyes. One set of Zen won.

The trademark YoYo post processed pitch black background

We’ve put together a new poll system for voting, built on the limesurvey framework. It’s a bit smarter and well suited for our contest polls, and it’s certainly a big upgrade from using google doc forms ;-)

First place gets two zens, and second place one!
