Single post in Meme contest!

We're running a contest where you can win the elusive Custom Sprite Smeargle! Contest thread has all the details.

The votes are in, here we go! Now follow the top 10 most voted memes! I've decided that due to the number of submissions received, all 10 of these will be receiving a Custom Sprite Smeargle, and currency as follows: - 1st: 1,200 ZC - 2nd: 5,000 GP - 3rd: 2,000 GP - 4th-6th: 1,500 GP - 7th-10th: 1,000 GP I will be distributing prizes over the coming week. Thank you for your patience on this. Thank you for taking part! Keep reading to the end of the post for lessons learned and things we'll improve next time we do something like this. Here are things that have been learned and what is planned for a future contest like this: - Clarify that the site rules apply for contests as well and that the normal reprimanding will occur, if unfortunately necessary. There was a disqualification which is why this is stated. - Make it clearer that the images were the entry, not accompanying text explaining the images. Some entries lost their meaning without additional text, but that's not the point of a meme. - Consider more prizes! We got a lot of entries this time around, so many that I needed to expand the prize pool! I will need to consider having a bigger pool to begin with. - Experiment with different voting systems. Maybe something like the weekly Contest voting system, where entries are pitted against each other and you vote for your favourite out of two or three, gradually establishing a ranking. - Improve the Image Uploader so that it doesn't break if you change your username. This wasn't such a big deal in the past when usernames required contacting Support, but now that it can be done much more freely it breaks things. Basically, this was a mostly experimental contest, and I have ideas to make the next one better. On that note - if you have any suggestions on other kinds of contests that we could run that would have community interest, then please suggest them and, if they are already suggested, give them a quick upvote so we know of your interest! Thank you for your patience with this one!
