Time for the best moment! Results for Round 1!

I would firstly like to say that all the entries were so amazing that the judging was really tough! But don't worry, I've decided on the winners only after consulting with a few of my other friends as well (who aren't participating in the contest and don't know any of you, of course) so be assured that the judgement was fair :)

But know that, every one of you who participated is amazing! Sadly I can't make everyone winners :(

So here goes the scoreboard, in order of the entry numbers (your nickname will also mentioned beside) :

Honourable Mentions:

Aarya2103

Review: This is a stunning cover with a beautiful colour blend Ariii! Great work done on the resources. The horror genre has been represented so well that I get goosebumps myself whenever I see it!

AND

-FANTXY

Review: The cover actually scares me when I see it, like it should! The prompt and genre has been both represented in the best way possible! Even the work on the title is amazing.

AND

ItSmYwAyToDoThInGs

Review: The idea for this cover was really nice! This had my attention at the first go. The CNN bit however, didn't seem to go with a book cover so well. Apart from that, it gives the right vibe!

AND

YaDramaQueen

Review: This entry was really aesthetic and matches the genre so well! The colours blended in pretty nicely. The texts were one of the most beautiful and fits the cover really well.

Runner-ups:

With 44.5/50 points, the third Runner-up:

Jesalyn-asher

Review: Right when I saw this entry, I knew I got one of my winners. The designing part was one of the most well done in the contest! The only bit that didn't make it the best was the text part.

With 45/50 points, the second Runner-up:

Apik_phail

Review: This was the most unique genre chosen in the contest! I loved the concept and the designing. The entire thing was just so creative. Good work Ru!

With 45. 5/50 points, the first Runner-up:

Maddy_0503

Review: This was such a cool one Mads! I had received a lot of Horror submissions, but this was the best! The best thing about this cover was the colour scheme, black-red-white, it looks really good.

Winners:

With 46/50 points, the Third Winner:

Mignxn

Review: This cover grabbed my attention right at the first sight! The theme chosen is just as beautiful as the designing. I loved how you worked on the original resources with such perfection! The only mismatch here was the placement and consistence of the Title and Subtitle. Apart from that, this is one of my personal favourite covers till date!

With 46. 5/50 points, the Second Winner:

ANTHYMN

Review: This is literally the loveliest cover I've seen till now! Everything is just so perfect here... the idea, the working, fonts, colour palatte, everything. The prompt was used in a really beautiful way for this cover. The only drawback here was having two people in the cover, although the girl does seem to be the main. Apart from that, I just love this one!

With 47/50 points, the First Winner:

DevilSpawn2005

Review: Not just me, but every single person I showed this one to loved this one ! This was really unique and creative. It seems as if the prompt was just meant for this one. The designing on the original resources was just on point. The fonts used are beautiful, and the colour palette matches just perfectly. Well done G!

Congratulations to all the Winners!

To those who didn't win in this round, don't be disheartened because there's still Round 2 left! If you can rock Round 2, you can still be one of the Final Winners :)
