Chocobo Tales Diorama Contest Winners!
First off, I'd like to apologize for talking so long to publish the results of the contest. All the entries were so great that we were having trouble picking just one winner, so I decided to take the matter straight to the source. I emailed Square Enix with a link to the contest and asked them their opinions and I got an email back yesterday. They were so impressed with the quality and all the hard work of the contestants, that they have given us FIVE more copies of the game to give away. Amazing!
| The Grand Prize Winner is Eastwood Wong with his amazing Chocobo battle scene who will be receiving a copy of Chocobo Tales and the precious, precious stuffed Chocobo. |
 |
| A special Editor's Jury Prize goes to Tristan Levine for his amazing etched glass box Chocobo, "Bird's Eye View". Tristan will be receiving a copy of Chocobo tales for all his hard work. |

The remaining four winners were tough to call, so what we decided to do was to let four of our writers each pick a favorite to give a copy of the game to. Make the jump to check out a gallery of the Editor's Picks!
Thanks to everyone who participated. This was definitely the most creative contest we've run so far and everyone met the challenge admirably. Congratulations!

Other stuff like this: contest, diorama, entries, final fantasy fables: chocobo tales, winners!
Wow, thanks guys. I did the Final Fantasy X-2 diorama. And yes, the giant head is in the game. If you watch the opening, there is a giant gold Buddha(?) under the stage who is playing drums. Since I couldn't fit the whole thing in there, all you get is the head.
And you guys picked my favorite one for the winner! Congrats Eastwood!
I thought the one with the flying peep was great! Where's that for the vote-off???
Well, no plushie for me (tragic!)... but... More games is great, yes yes yes! :D I'm so excited!
(I did Reading Chocobo. Tell me that Reading Rainbow and its PBS cohorts weren't the first thing you thought of when you saw the animation of chocobo reading and everything coming to life :3)
Eh... I too thought the 'flying peep' diorama should've deserved a win as well. It had a very charming look to it.
Wow, I wasn't expecting to win after all the great entries. I think the grand prize winner's was my favorite, and I'm so glad he won! I'm amazed that Square Enix gave you more copies, and I'm really happy mine got picked as one of the editor's picks (I did the Paper Mario one).
