A slightly pre-emptive game to celebrate...

The votes have been counted and verified...

Without further ado, it gives me great pleasure to announce the winner of the Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010 Competition:

Large: http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj320/bpawley/cc/WintOlyVancouver_L.jpg
Small: http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj320/bpawley/cc/WintOlyVancouver_S.jpg

Congratulations to samuelc812, who designed the winning entry =D>

All that remains for me to do now is to pass the baton on to lackattack (who hopefully won't drop it).

In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled for some more Winter Olympics Fun, CC Style.

Oh, there's also another foundry competition in the pipeline... keep your eyes peeled for that too ;-)

I wish I had entered! I didn't know the due date until it was too late

I had assumed it would be today with the opening ceremonies.

Congrats for working on everything on short notice!

Yeah, same here. I only had a couple hours to come up with something. I would really enjoy to see some of the other versions that everyone did. I posted mine, ...

congrats sam.

Congrats Sam, it's nice and simple and still has a good feel of the winter Olympics.

I was gonna try out, but to be honest, I had no real idea of what to do.

Well done sam =D>

Thanks guys, for some reason the quality went a little strange :-k

In my opinion the Large is of better quality...

Anyway have fun!

Maybe if you try saving it as png file, instead of jpeg.

by **sully800** on Sat Feb 13, 2010 1:37 am

They all get converted to jpeg anyway so that shouldn't matter.

I had some trouble a while back. Photobucket was resizing my files,(I guess). and this caused a substantial loss in detail.
I switched to png's, and it has been working for me since.

Another way is to switch to imageshack, which doesn't resize your images as long as they are under 10mb and doesn't limit the amount of images you can upload.

Anyway, could you re-upload the images as png:s and let lack convert them to jpg:s, because right now the quality of the map that is in play is sub-par. I mean really, the image is so fuzzy, it's making me uncomfortable when I play the map...
