no news yet... just sit back and wait... they know what to do...

Yes. They will not publish the results untill every last one of us is in fetal position talking in Klingon screaming "When will they say when will they say"; thats when we are not capable of using the price anymore, so they can keep it for themselves. :laugh:

i think different

they will say im the winner and there is no way they could send the card here

MRCL · Jun 15, 2009

Maybe they're afraid of all the weaponry stores in Bulgaria. Or the lingerie stores next to them :laugh:

(shot in Sofia 08)

On topic, is there already like a top 10 list or something?

InnocentCriminal · Jun 15, 2009

^^
Girls with guns. Awesome!

Not a euphemism for lady boys mind you. Unless you like that sort of thing. Not for this thread.

BulgarianBoy92 · Jun 15, 2009

MRCL · Jun 15, 2009

I was there only for a few days because of my cousine, she got married.

One of us is going to win. Now you know. Be careful with this information. Don't let it fall into the wrong hands.

There is really no point adopting the "Are we there yet?" agenda. Check out the forums in the mean time, try to help around, maybe ask for help about a problem you're having, enjoy some of the reviews, maybe learn something new.

"If you build it, they will come."

So be patient, maybe something good will be going your way soon.

All the designs are there in an easy to browse, organized fashion.

This is also the page the judges will use (8 from AMD/HIS, 3 from TPU) to find their favourites.

speaking of this, w1zzard: will there be a run-through done to remove material that breaches the rules, and if so - when?

SkyKast · Jun 18, 2009

id say a third to a half are copyright infringments

nope. since the removal process is very lengthy and complicated we will just look at the winners and weed out top down

that makes sense. get all the votes in, and only thoroughly check the 'winners'.
