Competition Wrap-Up

Thanks to all the participants for making the 1st annual TAW a success! This was my first time running a writing competition and I hope everyone had fun. I especially owe special thanks to Mordillo, who put up with my endless questions (and whose help made this contest possible), as well as Zombiebaron, who designed the awards for TAW, and additional input from Under user and PuppyOnTheRadio. ChiefjusticeDS, Hyperbole and Zana Dark who also participated as replacement judges.

Overall, I think the contest went very well. A lot of old requests were filled and, as of this writing, both the Battle of Grunwald and Wrists have been nominated to become a featured articles. Two new editors, Valdimir and Phrank Psinatra (the latter winning two runner-up prizes!), have joined Uncyclopedia through this competition. I'm not sure when the next competition will run but it'll be at least a few months. I'm thinking it will follow the next PLS (Spring 2011) and then its usual slot (Fall 2011). In the meantime, I do have something in the works. :) MadMax 08:02, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

Competition Wrap-Up

Thanks to everyone who took part in this year's TAW. I guess we can officially call it an annual competition now. :) Since the competition had been postponed once or twice during the year, I'm glad that so many editors turned out to participate. A special thanks to returning champions Phrank Psinatra and Lyrithya (who won two of the three awards!) and Oliphaunte who volunteered as a substitute judge.

Quite a few requests were filled for TAW 2011. One of the winning articles, Twilight (novel), has already been featured and three others have been nominated on VFH - Somalia,Esperanto, and Plant. This year's TAW included a series of "challenge" awards which saw Aleister & co. contribute A priest, a rabbi and a minister walk into a bar, EpicAwesomeness resurrecting Bart Simpson is sleeping with your wife from VFD, and both Shabidoo and Oliphaunte completing two of the oldest articles requested on UN:REQ (i.e. Making up Dan Quayle quotes and English Uncyclopedia). The next competition will probably take place in September 2012, following the next PLS. Thanks again for everyone who joined and I hope everyone had fun. MadMax 20:54, January 17, 2012 (UTC)
