This calendar contest was one of the largest by far, with a whopping 135 calendar submissions, the competition was fierce!

We were amazed by the quality of so many of these calendars, and seeing so many great submissions made us glad to be a part of the PWI community.

For many players this was the first time participating in the calendar contest, they were brave enough to attempt to take on the seasoned veterans (you know who you are) in a contest to determine who had the best calendar.

It's not all about the artwork though, players who followed the theme of the coming of the harvest and Halloween managed to turn out some great calendars that anyone in their right mind would be proud to hang on their walls!


Before you look at the winners, let us just say that although they are primarily hand-drawn we were stunned by the great calendars that players made from game screenshots. Indeed this was a very close competition, with a handful of calendars coming within mere votes of each other! Check out the ones that barely missed the cut when they are posted on Monday!

We now present to you, the deacons of design, the counts & countesses of calendars, the gremlins of graphics, our October Calendar Contest Winners!

Emerging from this darkness takes more then courage, it takes faith in ones own mind and more importantly in ones own heart. To deny the light is to deny yourself the feeling of true happiness and true peace within your own soul. Denying your own happiness and your own soul is denying all that one has to live for."

    That is actually really creepy b:shocked

    And in case of any doubt, upload it to an external site like tinypic.com and include the link in your email. Even in the case of an attachment malfunction, they still have your artwork at least b:infuriated

    I'm sure it's been said, but the runner ups were better than the winners.
