Para-Palooza MYO Contest [WINNERS ANNOUNCED]

Winner announcement!

First of all, thank you all so much for entering this MYO contest! Every single entry was really nice and unique and made it hard to decide on a winner.
That's why we decided to pick not only one but two winners:
Arquerite's Porcelain and EmeraldandBronze's Trench
We love the amount of detail and creative thought that went into these two designs and are very happy to announce them both as the winners of this contest.
Congratulations on winning the official status of your Paralogos plus a free library upgrade!

But wait, there's more!
We admins were very torn between the winners and thus decided to also reward two honorable mentions to match our 2 ultimate winners:
the-electric-soldier with Dandelion and DeviouslyDoomed with Caiman
Congratulations to you two on winning 20 each!

Lastly, everyone who did not win is able to buy the official status for their design for the discounted prices:
- Level 1 MYO: 40  / 200
- Level 2 MYO: 50  / 250
- Level 3 MYO: 60   / 300

There is no time limit currently for this offer--
designs in the MYO Contest folder we used for this will be kept there with mention of that price until made official.

Again, thank you all for participating! We hope you enjoyed this contest as much as we did and are looking forward to future events

With the updating of our Species Sheet, as shown above, we wanted to welcome new Para-owners into the group!
The sheet above has some quick do's and don'ts, but you should click on it to be brought to a fuller description.

You will have the chance to create (and then win) your own Paralogos design with this event!
You need to be a member of the group to participate.  

Aka, the rules are as follows:

1. Pick a Level 1-3 word to work with. The level descriptions are here: Chapter 1 - The Level System 
- It cannot be a word already used-- check LogosLibrary or this list to make sure your choice hasn't already been made!
_{Please ask us about the banned word list if you're worried about a word being approved. Just note the group.}

2. Design your Paralogos, keeping it away from the Don'ts on the species sheet! 
- Our lovely admin Necromouser has created "example" traits sheets for you all to draw inspiration from:
[Trait Collection] Lights, [Trait Collection] Crests and Fins, [Trait Collection] Tails... 
But you don't have to remain strictly to what's on the sheets. They're just for ideas!

3.  Submit it to the "Para-Palooza MYO Contest" folder in the group. 
- As long as your Paralogos doesn't have any design issues or concerns, it will be accepted into the folder. 
- Tips for MYOs are here: MYO Approval Process
Any entries not submitted to the folder by the due date will not be considered for judging.
- You may submit up to 3 Paralogos designs! Only 1 would be eligible for "winning" though per user.
- You may still purchase the "losing" designs after the event is over. We just want to make it fair!

4. The due date is April 24th. After that date, entries will be closed, and the admins will judge which designs should be made official.
The more entries we have, the more winners there will be! Ex. max 5 entries, 1 winner, 10 entries, 2 winners, etc.

Now, for those who lose, and their designs aren't made official for free- you have some options.
- You'll be allowed to make them official for discounted price of either Points or Ink. 
- Points will be saved towards the group upgrading to a Super Group. Ink must be earned by drawing images of already existing Paralogos.
- Now, you also have the option to share/advertise this event before it closes...
if you share this event before it closes, you'll get an even larger discount on your Paralogos should the design lose. 
- You should comment on this journal with a link to a poll/journal/etc, on how you shared the event!

The "losing design" prices are as follows:

- Level 1 MYO: 40  / 200 (Sharing Discount: 30  / 150 )
- Level 2 MYO: 50  / 250 (Sharing Discount: 40   / 200 )
- Level 3 MYO: 60   / 300 (Sharing Discount: 50   / 250 )

If you win your design-- in order to be awarded the design officially, 
you must make a Library Record to officially participate in the group with said design.

EDIT: If you win your design you will also recieve a free library upgrade for your new Paralogos.

Happy Creating Paralogos Library Owners!
