4. Kunal2045 (January)
5. Jorge (November)
Sorry about the presentation. I was making a podium to present the top 3 screenshots on when my computer crashed and lost that work. I also cant get to the prizes I intended until I replace a few parts. They will come, but for now, some temporary prizes...
Since Kunal wins a "gold medal", his winning a "bronze" is redundant. Therefore, I decided to give it to the next winner on the list, which is Jorge.
Here is the addition of all the tallies throughout the year (SOTM votes only), which has some interesting results, statistics and meanings...
Kunal got the most votes and technically won SOTM 5 times, but due to the rules, was officially allowed to win 3 max.
e-cobra got second-most votes AND highest single vote-count ( 8 ) that no else ever got this year (Kunal's highest was 6)
Jorge impressively got the bronze medal even though he is the fourth-most popular screenshot artist
Most people got less votes per month as the year progressed, except for Jorge and Matyii. That may mean they are the most improved screenshot artists.
What I forgot to count (or maybe I couldnt...) was the number of times each person voted and this should not be overlooked. Without voters participation, this contest doesn't work. Voters are the life blood of this contest and they should be congratulated as well. Thanks to you all! You guys are great!
As mentioned before, I will have some real prizes ready when my PC is back in order and hopefully I'll have the time.
It was a great year for SOTMs. Thanks everybody and hope to see you all next year!
