We Have A Winner! Screenshot Contest Voting Complete
Posted on July 8th, 2008 by Lawbringer under General TipsWith a little over 50% of the vote, the winner is Fran Molina! Her torch-tossing heart dominated the competition. Fran wins a $50 gift certificate to Amazon, now we just have to figure out how to get the card to Brazil! Congratulations Fran, I guess you helped all the guys find their romantic streak!
The Contest is over – and you better believe this: girls rule. I guess all you guys lost your artistic streaks in all the bone-crunching testosterone of mangling fires. Or maybe you just forgot it like we all do birthdays, anniversaries, our wallets . . . what was I saying?
I digress. There were only three entries in our little competition and unfortunately nobody actually got a shot of the fireworks. Gavin had me working like mad on our next project so I missed the show as well. There’s always next year right?
The nice thing about having only three entries is that it’s going to be pretty easy for you guys to vote on the winners and we’ll have a clear 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. So let’s show you what the lovely ladies sent to us and you can be the judges.
ENTRY #1 – Fran Molina
Fran hails from Brazil and took this terrific shot of the torch tossing event that was one of the daily quests during the festival. As you can see, this took some planning and coordination between Fran and three of her friends. Vote Fran if you love girls from Brazil! (Oh, wait – vote Fran if you think she’s the greatest WoW artist at DYS)
ENTRY #2 – Eleanor Anderson
Eleanor submits this fabulous display of herself and four others dancing around a brazier of dancing flames in the throne room of Lordaeron. Chicks certainly know how to make friends and influence people! A vote for Eleanor may also be “FOR THE HORDE!”
ENTRY #3 – Ellimace
In full fire festival regalia, including the Crown of the Fire Festival, Mantle of the Fire Festival, and Vestments of Summer, our night elf princess Ellimace watches over her Brazier of Dancing Flames. It certainly took the effort of visiting every bonfire and dousing all the Horde capital city fires to acquire all that gear. A vote for Ellimace and this goddess will watch over you!
Leave your votes for our three lovely ladies as comments in this post, and may the best woman win!



















I’m going to have to go with number 3.
Entry #1. That took a LOT of coordination.
ENTRY #1 – Fran Molina
Entery #2
Dang man…the wife and kids kept me from being able to get a shot of the fireworks. I should have sent in the sunset pic I got haha. Oh well too late for regrets.
My vote goes to entry#1
Entry #1
Put my vote in for #2, more atmospheric and artistic.
My vote goes for Number1…just the romantic in me!
Haha, thanks
I’ll vote for #2 since I know it would be unfair to vote on mine.
Entry # 1
Entry #1 – Fran Molina
Number 3! Least effort to make for sure, but well done! It must have taken a long time to get that kinda gear- by the end I could afford 20 drinks- yay for me!
#3 – she had to visit all of them…..
I’d say number 1 as i think it’s the most inventive and must’ve taken a while to get right
I’ll have to say #1
Entry #1.
Definitely Entry #3 it looks like more of an artistic picture than a simple screenshot. A whole lot more work went into this entry.
Vote for #1
Entry #1
Thanks all
@Mikeyyy: Actually, we were expecting to make a square, and I was on the low end of it. For the others it really looked like a square, but on my angle it looked like a heart. You can even see the shadows on the floor, forming a square.
It was pretty unexpected and beautiful, to say the least.
#3, for both the ethereal effect, as well as the effort it took to get all that gear.
I’ll go with #1.
Number 3, for it’s ethereal qualities, and for the effort it took to get all that gear.
#1
I am so annoyed that i forgot that screen shot, i had EVERY fire doused and honoured and i was ready to take it and then i forgot. oh well as said above, no time to worry. Definitaly Number 1- fran as like they say, im a romantic at heart even though im a bloodthirsty backstabbing rogue on the outside.
I’m going to have to go with #3.
#3 is the most artistic i think, you go girl!
I vote #1, #3, and #2 respectively.
I couldn’t log on to participate
Iraq is kind of a hard place to play WoW >.<
Jastiia -
We salute your service to our country in that God-forsaken desert!
Just pretend you’re in Tanaris… bring me back some Wastewander Water Pouches and Southsea Pirate Hats!
-Gavin
I vote for #3 as she went to a lot of work to get all that gear and the screenshot was a great shot to promote next year’s Midsummer Festival and to show what you can do if you put your mind to it! Ellimace, I applaud you! And to the other contestants as well, good job!
i like number 2 gogogo num 2
Entry #1
I vote #1
I vote: #1, #3, #2.
Even if Fran was shooting for a square, gotta love the heart. On #3, I’m just too impressed with what it took to earn all that gear to put it last. #2 is very nice as well and would be a close third.
actually if she was around last year she probably did what i did and got the mantle quite easily from a simple quest, so if you want to impress me with that kind of stuff, show me full gear, includeing shoes, brazier and captured flame.
entry #1
#3- it looks nice, #1 and 2 are nice but they dont have that eye cathcing look
im liking number 1,
and trust me lawbringer, but the fireworks really werent that hot, they never are, they dont use enoguh of em fast enoguh to get a good fill going
Definatly #1. Good job Fran.
#2 for sure
Wow i’m even amazed that my entry made it i’ve never participated in anything like this before and believe me it took alot of persuading to get my other guild members to join in on the fun.
My vote is def for fran’s hers is amazing and must have taken alot of effort.
Thanks for all the votes of confidence guys and I must say even if I don’t win I def had alot of fun taking the shot.
FOR THE HORDE!!!
I shot of Ellimace is great….Gotta go with that one!
#1 – its a heart!!! i’m impresed. they’re all amazing, but for a pic, #1.
#1
all good pictures but my vote goes to Fran Entry #1
Three! #1 and #2 were just too easy and plain. If it were valentines day I would say #1 but hearts are not for fire festivals.
yup gotta go with #3.
I’ll have to go with #1-Fran.
Entry #3
#3 for sure.
Entry # 1 for first place because that is the closest thing to fireworks which was the actual guideline for the contest. Also the shot had to be very difficult to create and that deserves some notice.
Entry # 3 for second because of the artistic nature to it. it could pass as an actual painting.
Entry # 2 for third because although it is cool, it could have been better. perhaps placed the brazier on top of a stone slab or mystic glowing runes on the floor.
Entry #1 gets my vote! It looks great
entry 2
mines gotta go to number 2, very nice.
although, a lot of work has gone into 3….
but 2 still takes it
Definetly Post #1, its the one that looks like it took the most time to do, and looks Amazing
Entry # 1 is the best!
I am going to have to vote for # 3, while it might at first seem like a simple shot- the work that had to go into getting all that gear- not to mention the lovely artistry of that shot pops it to number one for me…running a close second is the torch tossing- nice job working with your friends!! Last but certainly not least is the last submition – the shot was a lovely one but I wish that i could have seen it up close!!! happy screen shots everyone.
As beautiful as all the entries are Im goin to have to place my vote for Entry #1-Fran Molina.
#3 Must have taken a lot of effort to make, but regardless, #1 had really amazing corography (or horrible, they were aiming for a square =o )
Vote goes for #1, great work guys!
# 3! It’s so pretty.. I can’t stop looking at it! Very artistic and getting the braizer and gear is quite a feat. I love it, its like a painting! A rare shot indeed.
#3 could easily find a place on my background.
I’m going with #3.
The set itself was not that hard to make (well, I’m from a PvE server
I’m pretty sure if was harder for people on PvP servers), the only hard thing about is that you had to ditch one of the three flavor items from the festival. Either the set, or the brazier, or the pet.
I’m a pet collector so I ditched the brazier. =/ well my guild got lots of braziers so it wasn’t a bad choice, was it?
Here’s a screenshot of my set… and my Rocket Chicken making an appearence as well! XD

Screenie #1 because i love Brazilian girls! I mean… because it looks the best.
Love the rocket chicken picture fran! Although it’s too late to vote i’d have to go with number 1… The others were great too though =).. Good job to all
number one all the way…..Yay Fran!
