Chairleg Productions presents: 'Console Wars' and 'Games as Art?' (also on Halo Waypoint).
*Adds more* =)
So, we thought we'd also do an interview for the judges..just because..you know..we can:

1: Why did you want to be a judge?
I was in #MOAP when Excalibur first thought up of this idea for the art contest. I was helping him (as well as GP and ODST) come up with ideas on how the contest should be ran. Later when we were trying to decide how the winner would be chosen, I just volunteered to be a judge.
2: Were you annoyed by the PM's of people asking questions?
I was really never annoyed with any of the PM's. Most were just questions, and I was happy to answer.
3: How many PM's did you get a day as a judge?
At most... one. I got about three to four every week.
4: How many people asked you "omgwtfbbq, are you a employee of Bungie?
We had quite a few people in the emails think we were Bungie, or had "connections" to Bungie. I had one guy who was very persistent in trying to out me as a Bungie employee, though I always told him the truth and that I and anyone else associated with the contest had no connections whatsoever to Bungie.
5: How did you feel the competition went overall?
Overall, I think it went great. I really like the fact that Bungie allows their fans to use their forums to organize a contest like this. I would also like to thank everyone who participated in this contest. I really enjoyed being a judge for this, and hopefully we could be able to do this again in the future.

1: Why did you want to be a judge?
Well, I rather be a judge. I cant draw because I suck at it so why enter. I also like art, so I rather see it then create it.
2: Were you annoyed by the PM's of people asking questions?
Some times, I just hate getting PM's like "ZOMGWTFBBQ Bunie employee" or "Can I get a job at Bungie?" Those kind of PM's I hate. Most of the time I wasn't annoyed.
3: How many PM's did you get a day as a judge?
I got about three to four a day. Does this include personal?
No.
4: How many people asked you "omgwtfbbq, are you a employee of Bungie?
Too many to count. We actually got a lot of those in gmail account.
5: How did you feel the competition went overall?
The competition went well, smoothly in my opinion. We did have some trouble but that was bound to happen due to the misunderstanding. Overall, it was a complicated procedure that took patience. Hopefully next year it will be better.

1: Why did you want to be a judge?
Well, i just got back 'into' art and i was in the right place at the right time.
2: Were you annoyed by the PM's of people asking questions?
Not really. I didn't mind answering them if it allowed the contest to run smoothly and nicely.
3: How many PM's did you get a day as a judge?
Varied. Most i got in one day way ...i think, 2.
4: How many people asked you "omgwtfbbq, are you a employee of Bungie?
Heh. Guess.
5: How did you feel the competition went overall?
I think it went pretty nicely concidering it was the first one. I mean, i was surprised at the high standards we got such as Coke's and VII Toast's. I envy their "drawin' Skillz." ^_^

Ok. I think that's it for now. Just want to say again thank you to everyone who entered. Do it next time please! and well done to our winners!
(Sorry for the mistakes i apparently made in the news story...one's brain doesn't function quite as normal at 3:00am when you're still organising things) >.<
Oh yes, and TychoVII is getting a shirt if you're at all interested. ;P
We'll try make the next competition twice as good if not more.
