[Voting] 🐳 Whale.io । Bitcoin Fruit Carving - 2025 🍉🍍🍓

[Shadiq]

Hello participants! I am very happy to see your amazing handicraft skills. Some participants were not added to the voting thread due to non-compliance with the rules among the participants. Those who were placed in the voting thread were placed randomly and marked with a specific number. Good luck to all participants!

    How will it work?

Voting will be open for 14 days from the date the thread is posted. It is not open to the public but some prominent people from the forum have been invited to vote as judges. Public votes will not be counted. If all the invited people vote before 14 days, the thread will be locked immediately and the vote counting process will begin. This year, a total of 114 users participated in this competition, out of which 14 users were disqualified. Some participants who violated the rules were qualified for the voting thread due to their beautiful craftsmanship..

• You can vote for 5 fruit carvings.
• Only invited members can vote.

For example:

Code:

#1, #2, #3, #4, #5

(Number 62 and 69 images were not uploaded correctly.)

Op I can't find my work here, I was among the people that submitted their works, maybe it is one of the two images that are not properly uploaded in #62 and #69. Let me exercise little patience while you upload the missing images. It would have been better to number the works according to how they were being submitted in the submission thread.

Just saying.

[Perfectbaby]

What a beautiful designs we have here, how I wish I could have them physically I could have consumed enough of them. However, I really love the system of voting something it would be jeopardize or flooded, I see a fair system of voting and not by publicly allowing everyone to vote whom they want this could lead to compromised. All the best and I also thank those who devoted their time to participate on the fruit carving.

[Shadiq]

I sincerely apologize to you that you may have to wait a while to vote. Some of the participants' photos were not uploaded properly, I have requested them to re-upload the photos and PM me. I will add their photos as soon as they are available. Sorry for the temporary inconvenience!

Edit: If there is someone whose name is not on the list of ineligibles, but you can't find yourself here, then PM me. Although I have tried to be accurate.

Addition: The thread is now ready for voting. You can now feel free to vote. Good luck to all participants!

[Obulis]

I am not among the disqualified but my work is not posted for judgment.

See what happened to me
After checking the beautiful works of the qualified participants the first time and I didn't see my work. It was so heart breaking and knowing that there will be disqualification left me more weak but then I still have to enjoy the wonderful jobs of others and I started imagining how the eyes of the judges would be rolling on these wonders. So I have to be glad for others with the assumption that since I couldn't find my work that it means disqualified!
But then seeing the list of 13 disqualified https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5557094.msg65852326#msg65852326
, I  checked for Obulis upside down, downside up still I no see me among the 13 disqualified.

I have to come back here to check again using the same method but this time also checking left to right and right to left knowing that I am not disqualified yet e no dey, but this was with more gladness knowing it's not disqualification but omission.
Thanks for the correction.

[pooya87]

Thanks for inviting me to your incredible festival, I really enjoyed seeing every single hand crafted artwork in the main topic over the past weeks. There are a lot of talents there. I also tried to give some merit to each one as a tiny reward

Choosing 5 is hard since everything looks so good, alas I can't vote for everything so here are my 5 choices:

Code:

#6 #26 #41 #44 #92

[Coyster]

OP thank you for the opportunity you've given me to be part of the voting process. Thank you for also organizing a great contest for the community. Congratulations to everyone who participated, it is hard to actually pick because you all did a great work. However, according to the rules, here are my five selections:

Code:

#41 #13 #6 #16 #51

[Gozie51]

I appreciate being one of those making choice out of plenty good works. We surely have some good bitcoin artisans here. Good job guys

I do not know yet how effective it will be, if it is not effective then I will try to adopt some other strategy in the future.

Quite effective though but I would suggest for the future contest that at the time of final upload for voting, username should be excluded (if it were possible and convenient), only craft and number tag should be shown. So that Op and participants are the ones to know the username that is tagged with a particular number and all the judges see is just the craft/work .I think it will make voting process fairer,  Just my view.

Reserved (Edit): Now voting in order of my preference. Many more good carving but I'm limited to 5.

Code:

#89, #6, #85, #47, #28

[KingsDen]

Beautiful art!
This would have been self moderated because the thread is already being derailed. You can call the attention of the mod to sanitize it from henceforth.

Code:

 #6,  #25, #73,  #89,  #92 

Edit: It's beautiful to see cool art from fruits.

* Local significance.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

I want to use this medium to thank the organizers and those who sponsored the 2025 bitcoin fruit carving contest, it turned out absolutely amazing and I want to also appreciate the participants who made it so.

The high number of those who picked interest and participated made the contest very competitive and at the same time very interesting as well, thank you all.

I was bestowed the honor of being one of the judges who will choose between the contestants; those who will become the potential winners of the contest, and my nominations goes to...

Code:

#1, #6, #41, #89, #92

This is not me saying that every one else do not deserve the win, as a matter of fact; all the participants are winners in their own little way, and I wish I can choose everyone, but  unfortunately, I am limited to choosing just only 5 contestants, so the above is my pick, let's just give this to them for now, good opportunities are on the way for everyone else and congratulations to everyone once again.
