Thank you, KyriaT. Your finale was amazing, I must say. I love how you incorperated history into it. Thank you for wishing my boyfriend well..he has surgery today so hopefully he will be soon

Ok, I'm glad we got all the round 4's in on time

THE CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED...JUDGING NOW IN PROGRESS!

So, everyone, scores will be in ON or BEFORE Wednesday, unless some unfortunate events accure . . . and I pray they don't! . . . This seems to be the stressful point for a host

Had fun with you all as contestants, and thanks a ton for allowing me to successfully finish my first contest as a host! And, for anyone who want's to be in future contests by me, I submitted a "Sims Real Estate" contest in Saturday, so, if it gets accepted, then it should be out soon

Hope to see some of you wonderful contestants in it if it goes through . . .

-Until I get the scores,
clw8

This has been a great experience, and no matter how this turns out, I just wanted to tell everybody to give themselves a pat on the back, 'cause this contest wouldn't have been as fun if we all didn't do our best, and that's exactly what we did! ^_^ Thanks clw8 for running a great contest, and thanks to the Judges for doing your best to get those scores in fast, and always putting up comments, it really helps when you know where you can improve.

Now all I have to do is, do my best not to chew my fingernails off, as I wait for those scores to come in. LOL!

I am sad that this contest is already over. Taking part in it inspired me so much and I think I learned a ton during the four rounds. All this stories are so nice to read everytime I will miss that some how.

I had a blast and clw8 you did great at a host.
And also I would like to thank Tree4me, your judgement was really helpful!

No, aba, thank-YOU. You didn't give up even though you found your scores disappointing. Use the scores as a way of improving. I want to see you in more contests! :D

Here is what you've all been awaiting! Who won? Well, lets find out! Although, you should all congradulate your selves no matter your final standing

-CLW8

Yayyyy to the winner.

This was fun. Hope to see you all in another contest.

Good job hosting, clw8.

*blushes* First place? I'm completely shocked!
Congratulations on 2nd and 3rd Noel & KyriaT
You've all done so amazing, it's really an honor to have won. Thank you judges and clw8, I've learned so much from this :D
:jaw:

Oh happy day!! *dancing shuffle* :elephant: I'm so honored to get the bronze, and allie and singing_Noel you really deserved that gold and silver! Congratulations! It has been a great contest, thanks to our host, the judges and all fellow contestants. I'm really gonna miss you guys!

If you all permit, I would like to give a special honorary medal to aba. We have all learnt stuff and developed through this contest I think, but you aba probably had the most difficult position from the start, and you kept going, with good entries and a smile. That to me is impressing. :clap:

Gah! This is a great birthday present, I seriously don't think my final round was that great, since it was done in less than four hours, but I'm glad you guys did. Congrats alliemarie2323 for getting first, and Kyria for getting third!

Thanks judges, and thanks clw8, and I will definately take your suggestion, Tree4Me, and be in more contests. To tell the truth, I'm just glad I finished something, I've been in, and out of the hospital so much, I thought I'd never actually get this far without dropping out. So thanks for putting up with my lateness, at times, and all. [ISH Crying]. Thanks to everybody who was involved with this, and thanks to bP, and the S2C for letting this all happen!

Okay, I think that's it, and now I'm going to go eat dinner, 'cause I'm starving! LOL! ^_^

Congratulations alliemarie2323, singing_Noel, and KyriaT! You all did such a great job.

Congrats guys! You did a fantastic job, especially you, Allie! :D

singing_Noel, I am sorry about all your hospital trips, and I am glad that you have stuck all the way through! Your lateness doesn't matter, I have bee nlate myself.

Thank you, you guys!
Especially you, Liz (may I call you that?). Your nice comments boosted my self esteem a lot and made me try even harder. Since this was my first contest, I didn't know what I was doing at first, lol. It was great having you as a judge =]

Thanks KyriaT that is so sweet of you. I had fun doing this contest and it is not the result that counts its the process and progress and I think we all had a good learning experience.

So congrats to the winners! Thanks to the judges and to clw8. And I am looking forward to the next contests with you guys!
