By the way, is there a way to see how my own entry has scored?
Congrats to the winners!
I will confess to skimming the entries. 300 is simply too many to adequately read. I got overwhelmed. I also agree that the submissions with artwork were at an advantage. I know my eyes were drawn to those submissions first.

Thank you, everyone, for your suggestions on how we can make contests like these better! They're still relatively new for us as a concept, so we're always looking for ways to improve!
I am very happy for the winners - in fact, I voted for two of these. They're all creative and I'm looking forward to the items being made.
But I am extremely disappointed with the Subeta Team for not recognizing that art was going to give a significant leg up in a voting process where we had 300 entries to read through. We're visual as human beings, and our eyes draw us to beautiful things. I agree with other sentiments regarding having two categories, with and without art, for future contents of a similar nature. Or narrow down the choices to <20 next time.

I also hope next time users take more time in looking through all the entries. 300 was quite a bit but the amount of time we had was plenty to at the very least skim through all of the entries. Staff can't take the whole blame on this situation.
I don't think it's a fair assessment to say "art won over creativity" because obviously the winners were very creative. However, I still feel like there should've been two categories, one text only and the other with art, to create a better balance of winners. I voted for non-art ones knowing that the ones with art would win but you see how much of a difference that made.
I dunno, hopefully if they do this again staff will think this one through a little better next time.
Congrats to the winners!

Winners are lovely, I voted for a few of them :)
To stop people moaning it would be nice if we had an art/no art category next time :). Also 10 items would be better than 5, there were lots of cool entries.

Congratulations! I love that there's an Oatmeal-themed beer XD Also, the logo for the Merana one is super pretty ♥
Congrats to the winners, though I'm really sad the Staff parody didn't place - I was rolling at the description!
This was not worth having to get a new liver for.
But seriously, congrats to the winners ! Such pretty art.

It's not the winners' fault that people went for the art. 300 entries on one page and only getting 5 votes is why people went for the art.
Congrats to the winners! :) Very nice entries!

Man. I bet the artists will never need to salt anything in their lives with what they have gotten 8)
Congrats to the winners, some of my fav placed and I'm happy.
There should have been two separate categories with separate winners; people would have been happy.
But that's something else.

That said, it's a shame no ciders made the cut. Subeta apparently has no love for appley goodness. :(
Well, at least one of the entries I voted for made it, so it doesn't feel entirely futile. And all the winning entries, for the most part, have decent, detailed descriptions of the drink itself, so I'm happy to see them win.
man they're gonna have a hell of a time fitting some of these logos on a 64x64 pixel image tho rip all details
Congrats.
Suppose from here on out anyone who enters a contest needs to make it solely subeta based in order to have a shot at winning. It makes me sad to think that a lot of people voted based on art/site reference(s) and not on originality as a whole. I get that the items will be for subeta though a bit of non-subeta references would have been nice.
Again, thanks for the opportunity to enter this contest and congratulations again to the winners.

Totally disappointed- I didn't vote for any of these. Did anyone else actually read the entries instead of just looking at the pictures?
Oh well.
Oh well.
A little disappointed that art won the day, instead of creativity. I like most of the entries, but I feel that some of the other concotions in the competition definitely deserve a shout out for being just as awesome as the winning items. Anyway, congrats guys
Congrats! I was totally biased in my voting since I didn't have time to read all the descriptions and so mostly went for those with art. Maybe if we'd had a selection of see five, choose one per day, that way the playing field would have been more level. Anyway, I'll be sure to get those drinks for my Gourmand pet :)
Congrats!
I am honestly a bit surprised that all winners have logo art, but I guess they just stuck out more.

Congrats to all winners, well done! Looking forward to trying all those brews! :-)
Too sad that only a few can be chosen though, there were so many creative entries. As usual with user contests! I think that from contest design staff really listened to our complaints - viewing all entries etc. The only thing that did not work was "Do not look at the art, read the descriptions". If you wish that sort of contest, do not include the art in the showcase.

Congratulations to the winners, of course, and I mean that sincerely. However, I thought the voting was terribly done and it was by its very nature rigged in such a way that only items with artwork would win. I thought it wasn't fair to those of us who took a lot of time writing out our own descriptions, but don't have visual artistic talent.It seems to me that all the user contests require visual artistic talent, and frankly that makes me sad, when I cannot art, but I have other useful talents. Anyway, I reiterate, congratulations to the winners!
I feel like this entire contest was a whole "Be careful what you wish for" scenario that kind of feels spiteful. lmao I feel kind of foolish, but I actually thought that staff would hand pick 5 entries without any art, similar to how they separated the entries in the Peka-Boo event last year when they were smart enough to realize that face item votes were heavily outnumbering the other items and so surprised us with a total of 10 winners rather than the intended five.
I get it. We wanted you guys to be precise about the prizes that would be available from the start of the competition and you guys did that. I get it. We wanted the chance to view all entries ourselves and you guys did that. Was the lesson to just not complain and take what we're given?
I could be wrong, but has staff even addressed the terrible voting structure beyond, "we can't make it random and paginate it lol?"
I don't even know why I'm so bitter and cranky, I love the winning ones! The art is lovely, they are super creative, and they are just overall amazing. Seriously, congratulations and I can't wait to see these on site.

Only one I voted for there was Jolly Jollin. I knew mine stood no chance out of all the entries. Congrats to the winners.
I agree on the art thing. It's interesting that only those with art skill won. Didn't give the rest of us much of a chance at all. I voted for image-less ones, at least. Congratulations to the winners. But next time, maybe we can omit the art bit, or have separate categories. That being said, I'm extremely against alcohol anyway, so I'm not excited for these items at all and don't care for this kind of contest at all. Glad others had fun, though.
Aw, I voted for a bunch of the picture-less entries. Maybe next time we can have a contest where art isn't even involved?
Congrats to all the winners. I think one or two of the winners I voted for made it.
Will there be a participation prize? I can't recall...

Congrats to the winners! All of them were lovely!
I wish we'd had a few more winners though so we could slot in some of the pictureless entries. There were some really great descriptions that I'd have loved to see conceptualized. Still, the winners are lovely and well deserved. I like that they're so diverse in concept too and that a lot of them are 'localized'! Shengui Guo, Veta Lake, Omen Islands/Merana, and then a pet one and an NPC one, really cool. A nice mix.

Congrats to the winners. But something still bothers me.
How come none of those pictures loaded for me when they was in the judging phase? I know for a fact I voted for the Jolly Jollin, but the picture never came up. Its making me wonder how many pieces we actually missed out on.

Congratulations to the winners! :D There were so many worthy entries - congrats to all entrants!
None of the brews I voted for won :/
Was looking forward to the spider brew.
Congrats to the winners though.

Lmao looks like people went for the art - the winning entries are super lovely and creative (huge congrats to the creators!), though I wish some other really creative and descriptive entries could have won too (says one of the few people who actually skimmed through all of the entries whoops). It's too bad it was limited to 5 winners!
