Couple Contest - Winners!Yay! The winners were chosen! I know. About time.
I first want to say; THANK-YOU to everyone who entered. I loved all the entries and would give everyone a prize if I could afford it. But I sadly cannot. I'm so happy with the outcome and all the people who actually took time to enter. I am going to go through and try to comment on all the entries. So please be patient for your comment
Now the fun part. The Winners!
Forth Place:
We had a tie for third place. Two entries tied in their final scores. My friend and I both agreed Character Depiction was the most important thing to us so we went off that for the tie breaker. And so I made a Forth Place so the other Third Place winner get something.

Judging
To judge; My friend and I will score each of the entries and give them points per each criteria. The scores will be posted at the end of the contest. I will assign everyone a random number with the scores (and not post their username) then if you want to know how you were scored you'd just note me and I'll reply to you with what number I assigned you. Then you can find your number and see how you were scored. (I can show you an example if you need to know)

There will be a total of 120 points per an entry (60 from me; 60 from her). The entries will be scored on these criteria: originality, effort, character depiction, overall composition, and appeal. I personally will not judge until the contest is over (thus the extra week until winners are announced). I do this so I can judge all the entries at the same time so I'm in the same mind set when I judge (meaning, if I'm angry one day I may score lower then when I'm happy the next).

I will be e-mailing the entries to my friend; because she is unable to sign onto DeviantArt at this time; but can receive E-mails. So I'll send them to her and she'll either reply or text me her scoring when she scores them. I'd prefer a downloadable version to send; but this will not affect your scores.
