Design Oatmeal a Home: Voting!
Voting is officially open for Design Oatmeal A Home! We’re trying a new voting system for user contests where you have a few choices. You can vote VOTE UP or VOTE DOWN for as many entries as you want or skip an entry to come back to later! Voting up is like casting a vote for an entry like previous entries while voting down is just you not voting for that particular entry.
Voting will end on November 15th at 11:59pm!
Prizes will be available at the end, this includes prizes for submitting an entry and voting!

were names not allowed on entries? some submitted works have been edited.
I gave upvotes to creative effort and time put into it. It might've been because of your concept (both drawn and worded, not just how pretty it turned out) or your medium.
There were entries that looked like the first page of goat shelters on google images. Logomeal, tents, boxes with windows got real old. I picked the ones that considered Oatmeal's location and lifestyle. Things like fireplaces and doorknobs certain furniture are human access.

I'm just sitting here, after going through all of those entries, hoping something actually suitable for a goat will actually win. So many of these (that weren't junky images already mentioned) look like play houses for humans or toy dolls :(
"Your design can be drawn traditionally, digitally, or you can build a 3-D model."
Man...had I known that was not at all the truth about entries, I'd have entered too. I assumed that the stated conditions were requirements - but clearly not. I could've slapped in any screenshot of any image and gotten the contest entry prize /sigh

Kind of wished I entered. Just didn't have the time.
That was a lot of clicking and slow page loading to get through all of those whooh!

Those of you talking about copyright law -- it's sad that you've been conditioned to think that just copying an image off of Google for a Subeta contest is a violation of copyright. Our corporate overlords want you to THINK that everything's copyrighted and you can't do or use anything, ever, but it's not true.
These "copyrighted" photos of oatmeal canisters are protected by Fair Use because they are not being used to make money or sell anything or to rip off art. They're being used as, well, basically satire. If you wanted to take the images and sell your own oatmeal with them, you obviously couldn't. But to submit them to a dumb contest? It's fine.
People are so tragically cautious and terrified nowadays, it's so sad. DX

@Holden
Oatmeal is a boy per the description of several of his items
and the contest announcement (probably among other places).
I was a little surprised more people didn't realize already or at least double check too.

A lot of incongruency to oatmeal's gender! What is it? Are there clues? Does it matter?
Anyway looking forward to the results ?

The way I'm voting is the obv ones that have like a block or a couple lines/google photo, I downvote and the ones that even if they don't necessarily have the drawing or crafting skills (this is me personally, though I didn't enter), if their description seems well thought out/thoughtful, they get an upvote. For those I see as neither here nor there, I skip. I like that we have options this time.
@Jonquil
There were some entries with problems (images that staff couldn't load, for example) that have been fixed. I voted pretty early and I've only had 2 extra, both popped up yesterday.
I can't say for sure no more will pop up, obviously, but I wouldn't expect too many more if any. I'm personally going to check again when we get the reminder that voting is closing, and that'll be it.

I'm a bit confused about voting. Yesterday I voted for every single entry, because I received the message: You've voted on every single entry, good job!
Today, I selected the Oatmeal vote tab. Now I see new pictures and entries that are new today. I didn't see these yesterday (when I thought I was finished because I got the above congratulations message). Are new entries being added everyday? Were there entries that didn't make it into the queue system yesterday? Do we check back each day to vote in case the system is broken?

Whew, that was more entries than I expected. I voted up a lot based on creativity/effort and not solely art skill, but dang there were around ten/twelve entries that were beautiful and I hope we can find out who submitted what when this is over!

Phew!! I thought that was never going to end :

After reading through all the comments here, man, I hope my image wasn't downvoted due to size. It looked to have been resized as soon as I entered it... and looking at it now appears that way still.. ahwell, there was more than 5 i adored that I think should win anyway. I hope they do take elements from the top 5s cause there were definitely some nice ideas for tiny little details...
is there no way to review all the ones you have voted up?

That was actually quite refreshing to see some entries that appeared to have lower artistic "skill" than my own (in)ability grins I made a point of voting for the ones that had a great concept (going on the image and description), regardless of how it was drawn - some of those ideas are amazing!You've voted on every single entry, good job!
Good luck everyone :)
As many others have said, I voted for those that looked like they actually tried. Some of these are just... well, I bet the users are glad their names aren't attached.
I've voted on effort rather than artistic ability. Many have obviously taken a very short amount of time to complete (or not complete), and others have very obviously put a good amount of time and effort into their depicitions. Good luck everyone who made a good effort! :)
i'm finding it impossible to downvote ANY of them. I simply skip the ones I'm not in love with...and i'm in love with quite a few...
i'm really anxious now because when i submitted the picture didnt show up so i put a link in the description i really hope mine is in there ;-; i worked 4 days on it
Good luck to all who submitted. Some were really magnificent with fabulous creativity. It's a shame others, who were clearly only in it for the prize, were not weeded out before voting began. As someone else mentioned that pic of an oatmeal can clearly broke copy write laws. I'm amazed that wasn't disqualified by staff. I up voted all that showed effort and originality. I'd love to see the winning entry be uploaded to the site as Oatmeal's actual home.
some of these are just uncreative. this has nothing to do with artistic ability, but absolutely no thought was put into some of these. I think I only voted for a handful of people. thank you to those who actually tried.
Voted for all of them, upped 3-5 I think? Those few just blew me away. Also went with good plans, not necessarily art. Some gorgeous art there or projects I knew took ages, but... still, went with things that made sense. Glad to see those who put thought into what a goat needs for happiness. Oatmeal is going to be one excited goat to get out of the rain.
It was really hard to choose! I wish I could vote "Cast" or "Pass" instead since voting down tends to be something that is done when you DISLIKE something, but I didn't truly dislike any of these lovely houses. I tried to vote based on concept and originality, because some people are GREAT at design but not necessarily drawing out houses, etc.! I myself hate drawing architecture and I'm also not too good at design so I was very impressed by these.
Everyone did so great on their entries! I hate voting some of these down because I love little things about almost every one. But I'm trying to only upvote my absolute favorites so I don't get carried away. I like not having to narrow my selections down to a specific number though.
I feel like the one where someone drew some oatmeal in a bowl was completely against the point of the contest since we were supposed to be drawing a home for a goat not bowls of food.
Idk if it was a lame attempt at being funny or what but yeah....The rest of the entries were what we were asked to do so I don't see why folks are having issues. I'd be more upset that they allowed a drawing of a bowl of oatmeal in over a entry that lacked thought...-cough- cardboard and duct tape for example -cough-

i get being miffed that random google images have been submitted and made it through to voting, but to be upset cause you think some people's entries aren't drawn well enough/creative enough and so they shouldn't be able to participate? ridiculous. move on. you don't need to vote for the ones you don't like! it's easy.

@lull There are a lot of people voting! I’m sure we’ll have a top winner, and if we end up having a tie we’ll figure something out (even if it means what some people have suggested, which is taking a few elements from the winners). I personally kind of like it this way because you don’t have to narrow your votes to 5-10 like we’ve done for previous things when we’ve had a lot of entries.
@Amber - because there is no scale for liking. Some of them I can see have tried hard but don't have skills and others have skills but aren't necessarily what I could pick for oatmeal's home. Plus if I had realised I might have been a bit more choosey. Plus surely there will be lots of entries with the same number of votes.
Wow. I almost forgot about the contest and then had not much time, so I quickly did something to enter at least something. And still I feel like I did quite well now. o.0
Whatever there are some really nice entries. I don't care for stick figure houses or paint doodles if you can see that there went some effort and actual DESIGN into it. It was a design contest, not a drawing contest after all. A bit of sorting beforehand would have been nice though, especially for things that give away who the artist is, also stock images or unrelated stuff. As for quality I guess just don't vote if you don't like it

I didn't think it was their fault once I figured it out/you explained c: That's part of why it would be good to remind people, so the fixed entries don't miss out on any votes from those who've already finished voting. Reminding people later just gives time for any other entries in 'limbo' to be fixed too so there can be just 1 reminder.
