Indeed they are. We'll close submissions tomorrow for good, so any last minute stragglers have until then to submit since we're already stretching things out.

THE FIRST DAY OF VOTING HAS BEGUN!

How we are working it is that we're going to have 11 days of elimination style voting. You will get lots of votes each and every day. Resources that get more votes will be included in the next day's poll, while those with less will be left out until the final poll when you are allowed one final vote. So be sure to check every day and vote for your favorites!

Some of the resources that were submitted were disqualified due to either being made before the start of the contest or being deemed by Santa's helpers as not modified enough from the original version to be allowed. Additionally, the iconsets were bunched together as single submissions rather than the total number of icons. This is the breakdown of everything submitted:

2 icon sets (18 total icons)
8 song tracks
6 scripts
12 full sized character graphics
8 facesets (64 total faces)
4 spritesets (7 total sprites)
2 battlers

42 total resources

And that's it, ladies and gentlemen!

The final poll is up!

At the beginning of the contest, we asked participants to hit us with whatever resources they could come up with, and we managed to collect a whopping total of 42 acceptable submissions. The first eleven days in the contest were elimination rounds to see how long these resources would last when competing against each other. Honestly, some that I expected to go far ended rather early, while some I never expected to last long made it nearly to the end. Now that we're at the end, four of the contestants are walking away with special awards:

HaloOfTheSun - Best Music for his song track "Frozen".
Modern Algebra - Best Scripting for his script "ATS: Special Message Codes".
IAMFORTE - Best Pixel Art for his "Yuyubabe Charset" sprite.
Nessiah - Best Portrait Art for her "Elicia Cut-In 1" picture.

The ultimate winning resource turned out to be Halo's song "Frozen"!
An extra congratulations to him and all of our other finalists!

For the last poll, we're bringing back all of the eliminated resources again for one more uber poll and giving everyone one last vote. So, be sure to go check it out and give one last shout out for your favorite of the bunch! Thanks to everyone who participated in the Twelve Days of Resources contest, and have a safe new year until next Christmas!
