I wonder when we can expect to hear which entries have won?
Kael mentioned last week that a judging meeting was being held last Friday. Add time to work up the blog, submit that through whatever checks are required for published news items, and insert into the news sechedule for best effect. Assuming they have finalized winners now, my completely "numbers from the butt" guess is Wednesday/Thursday. If they still need more time to evaluate entries, then it might be another week or two.
So, sit tight. The writing contest didn't take that long to process and I doubt we'll be waiting for too much longer on this one (especially when less reading is involved, but who knows how many entries they got with this one. )

Looking for something new to play? I've started building Foundry missions again in visual novel form!

All of the entries in here are really great so far.
Wait... Did Cryptic seriously model the lacing/breathing holes on the 23rd century Gorn?
HAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!
Space Barbie Extraordinaire. Got a question about Space Barbie? Just ask.
Things I want in STO:
1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!
@kurumimorishita - Yeah, those holes are in the same spot as the breathing holes from the original costume. The tunic fit over the top, obscuring the holes.
The Gorn costume before the tunic was put on, showing the breathing holes that were essential to keep the actor inside ventillated. The suit was rubber and like wearing a total head Halloween mask.

I see my pics I sent in and then look at some of these others and now mine feel inadequate. These are some great entries. So long as no one minds, I'm gonna snag some of these for wallpaper. Great work guys.

I mean, we'll obviously see them in-game at some point, but do we know when that will be?

Over 2,000.
We've got it narrowed down now, I just have to check one final thing, which I should finally have time to get to today. I hope.

That would put results at some time next week so EU has time to translate the blog.
@themadprofessor#9835 - haven't checked yet, if it's modeled or 'just' on the texture, but anyway...it's awesome! *^_^*
@capemike4 It's always so nice to see the Nebula in all her variations - great shots!
