^ You should feel proud - as should the other 2 finalists! And as we are down to the final 3 entrants, the person who finishes in 3 rd place will win a consolation prize (it will be announced what it is in a few days)!

I can't wait to see what the prize is! All three of them did so well and it was very hard choosing 1 out of the 3!

Thankyou once again to everyone who voted in the poll for this round. The Results:This entrant was automatically put through to the Final Round (Round 5) because they scored the highest in the judges' scores: SimymonnaThis next entrant scored enough points from both the judges' scores and the poll votes to also go through to the final round: *Mystery*Therefore, the entrant who has scored the lowest amount of points and has been knocked out of the challenge is: Power~Of~FourCongratulations for making it this far - you came 3rd overall so you should be proud! Hopefully you feel this challenge has helped you in some way and I look forward to seeing work from you in the future. So, what's next?* The judges' scores and critiques will be sent to the entrants. * A PM describing the 3 rd place prizes will be sent to Power~Of~Four. * Entrants can now discuss their pieces with other people on the forum. * If the entrants want to post up the stories to go with their magazines then they may post them in this thread. * The judges' scores and critiques will be posted in the poll thread (once it's been unlocked). * The task and rules for the Final Round (Round 5) will be announced - as it is the final round, there may be a slight delay so we can get everything sorted.

Yes I voted for Simmymonna's work. It was great. The other contestants did great and I can't wait to see the judges critiques. Oh and Power of four you did good just like the other two and I was upset to see you got no votes .

still somehow I think I don't really deserve it! Since all the other good grapic contestants who had to go out because of the personal reasons doesn't give me a feeling I deserve this you know.. It's kinda hard to explain in English the feeling i'm having right now...

I completely understand what you are saying, simymonna. This is a learning round. Everyone wins and learns. Feel proud that they'd made it this far and don't think about the fact that "all the other good grapic contestants" pulled out. You learn and they figure out their timing and next time, when this becomes OFFICIALS, join again and hopefully that'll make you feel better. You did great! Everyone in this contest has good a good job and I hope no one feels bad about their artwork and what they've learned.

I do feel better now.. I did learn a lot already. Just that the work I did only had in the other round what.. 2 votes maybe.. and then this.. it's weard but I understand what your saying.. And maybe I will join again when it comes to something official.. But then people need to understand that I sometimes need a little bit more explaining then the rest... Don't know for sure but the english translations for grapic tools and stuff are sometimes hard to know what it is..
But I feel better and exited to see what the final round will be!

Final round sounds exciting. That's why we have a practice competition. See how the rules work and the people react. It's totally understandable about non-English members. Like Clare said, ask the judges if anything is unclear. GOOD LUCK!

Interview with...* Why did you pull out of the competition?I re-joined the cafe and signed up for the competition during a time when I really needed a break from designing...and the short time off really did help me focus on design again and what I wanted to do. Unfortunately, though, it keeps me busy, busy, busy and I didn't have the time to give to the competition that it deserved.* Did you enjoy the challenge?Yes, I really did. It was fun to go back and do all the stuff I used to do!* Do you think you learned anything from taking part in the challenge? If yes, what?Well I wasn't in it long enough to say that I really learned anything, but it was a blast and that is all that really matters.* What would have been your ideal task?Umm well I'm not sure what all ground you guys covered after I pulled out...but I think I would have enjoyed doing more intangible ideas...focusing on emotions or ideas that were not a "given" to the Charmed storyline.* If we had another competition in the future, would you enter again?I would if I was there.* Any additional comments?It was an awesome idea, Clare! And it kept people stretching their creative genius, which is always good!
