First prize wins spinosaurus, diplodocus, and tylosaurus. Second prize wins giganotosaurus, amargasaurus, and postosuchus. Third prize wins Tapejara, Nigersaurus, and dunkleosteus. You can choose anything you want. BUT DON'T TELL US! Got it. Thanks. I'll start getting info this weekend. Also does size matter? Like small, tiny,large figures.) You can use any figures you want. As long as they will show up on the camera the size doesn't matter ;D

You can't really use figures that you don't own in the dioramas orthocone, because the pictures of them wouldn't belong to you, and thus the rules would be broken...

Dinonikes was our sponsor last year, he was responsible for prizes. I presume the winners got their prizes? I'm still waiting for mine... Ditto. Same here. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's entries for this year's contest.

Sorry to hear you haven't received your prizes - I'm surprised. I'll have a word with Malcolm.

Past winners, I've contacted Malcolm about the prizes for last year - hopefully he will get back to me very soon. I'm really embarrassed about this and apologise profusely. If, for whatever reason, Malcolm does not deliver on his promise to provide prizes, I will provide some instead. I hope this does not put you, or anybody else for that matter, off of entering the contest this year.

^ I was (and still am) put off bothering to enter again by the folks getting multiple accounts business that went on with the last one.

^ I was (and still am) put out by the folks getting multiple accounts business. We introduced a rule that limits one account per person. I will check all voters are unique as best I can (check IP addresses etc.). All users found in breach of this rule will be deleted and the contest results will be void. The only other way to avoid this problem is to have a panel of judges. Unless anybody has a better idea?

I am sorry for the mixup- I will send out the remaining prizes to Radman, Piltington, Pangolinmoth- sorry to cause any embarrassment to the forum, they had nothing to do with the prizes being so very late in getting to the winners-

I thought the multiple accounts abuse had to do mostly with leaving good/bad Karma for others or themselves.

/\ it was only to do with karma. We never had any issues with the voting, but thought it was something we should keep an eye on.

If we wanted to get all elitist, we could set a ground rule for who gets to vote--has to at least be a Junior Member (however many posts that means, I think 50), for example; and, of course, anyone submitting a diorama (in case a new member comes in just for the contest). Then, no one should be able to just create an ID and then vote. And it would sort of set the idea that we expect the voting to be done by active members. I don't know how easy/hard that would be to set (or sell), though.

That seems like it would work - but how would you get a poll-post to discriminate amongst members?

(Just as a random idea) what if a poll could be set up in the moderator lounge, and people could vote by sending in requests through mods who would then "vote" in the poll; and then they could announce the results when the voting period ends? That way mods could decide between people who have over 50 posts and people who have under 50 posts.
