An HM? Thanks, judges! I felt honored to compete with so many great builders. Thank you to the judges for all your work on this contest, and thanks to everyone who was kind enough to donate the prizes. This was my first Lego contest and I had a ton of fun. I am challenged and inspired by this years entries and those of years past. All the winners should be proud. Congratulations!

Just out of curiosity, is there any way to find out what the final scores were among the honorable mentions? Or do I just need to deal with the fact that I'll never know if I came in 2nd or 6th? :)

Congratulations to the winners and well done to everyone whop entered for continuing to make the CCC the biggest event in the LEGO calendar. Thanks to the admins and judges, it must be a pig of a job organising this beast. It is much appreciated.

Thank you for all the kind words about the contest! I do personally apologize for the historic delay. It was totally my fault this year.

I just wanted to add my congratulations to all the winners, and to the honorable mentions, and to everyone who had the guts to enter and compete, who worked hard, even if it wasn't recognized with an award. And as always, a huge thanks to the judges who make such a competition possible. Even for those of us who didn't enter, it is still a great pleasure to see the amazing creations that this competition spurs into life. :D

Congratulations to all the winners and honorable mentions! This has been a very inspiring CCC, some of the best creations I've seen in my 3 years participating. As many have also said, I look forward to this event every year and its one of my favorite parts of the LEGO hobby. A big thank you to all of those who helped to make the CCC possible each year. It must be hard work and I appreciate your efforts to make it such a wonderful event for us. Also, thank you so much for the win in the castle category of the contest. There were so many great entries in the category and to pick a winner must've been a tough choice. Thanks again, see you next year! :D
