Congratulations to the winners that deserve it!
But...
I feel for everyone that actually put some effort into making their banners from scratch like myself...
instead we find the winner had taken all of two minutes if that out of their day to edit some text instead of actually putting some thought into making a banner, they didn't even edit the colours of the default template that was used, which is shocking when many of us spent many, many hours if not days choosing the perfect font, colours, alignment, effect and just a general thought process which was 100% more then what the winner had done but he still walks away with $756 worth of BTX at today's rate.
I also sense some foul play when you look back over the contest...
Several accounts all posting the same link for example...
pretty much all of these users last logged in on the same day at the same time to spam the same link umm??
Then we get comments like this from the winner...

although I appreciate the work of those who have created the banners, many of them are childish with moons, rockets, cartoons, whales etc.
https://i.imgur.com/0R44RRL.gif this one is very professional and straight to the point, that's why i like it so much. for the world to take this project seriously into consideration we should look mature and serious. just my 2 sats
Btw you looks like this 3 user Grin
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2981999.msg30678778#msg30678778 lol imagine if you actually made the smooth 3D effect, mature design and most eye catching you could then actually be proud of yourself instead of been a fraud
I'll just leave these quotes here
Like what? i've voted normally on first page
in my opinion
https://i.imgur.com/0R44RRL.gif look suspicious because too much vote immediately on ordinary banner..But I could be wrong of course
In my opinion is too ordinary...others are far better and newbie account here is also suspicious
https://i.imgur.com/0R44RRL.gif is 1 mb+ banner. Adsense can't use banner more than 150 kb. 1.15mb is very big. and CI told us just use 3 pink color ,white color and black color ... i can make rainbow color and very smoother big file size on my work too if i know. at last thing on my work is use " The predominant font used for Bitcore is Century Gothic. Whenever Bitcore is used as a corporate identity it should be bold, in
italic and using lower case. Like this: bitcore" it's very very close to CI. It's sad time ... rip my 63.5 kb banner.
Congratulations to the first Place Dread Pirate Roberts - you deserve it!
lol really??
quote from same user as the winner only different(alt)
no one said you cannot use a template banner therefore the winner didn't broke the rules. the most important thing was to make an eye catching banner respecting the requirements and that's what he did.
Thing is you didn't actually make anything nor did you meet the requirements colours etc but somehow still got through!
This competition was flawed from the start and the devs have been cheated just like the genuine participants who put in hard.
PS: sorry to post in the ANN but the over post is locked so had no choice.
Good luck with BTX devs and make it the game changer it as potential to be
