I've always appreciated your hard work on this. 85 individuals entered the contest, two less than last year but quite a bit less than the year before that. Perhaps CCC9 needs a bit more excitement added in. Perhaps a chance to win a few giant sets. Or a pony.

[Elbadar]

Horay I'm in the 3 and up . I usually make an attempt at master builder but I really drained myself out making Rothgar Castle (2.0) and only made the other two after breaking a serious mental block. At least I'm proud of what I entered, but sadly far less so of my pictures. I love the CCCs and hope they continue for a long long time. Thanks to everyone who made them possible

[eilonwy77]

I love statistics. Thanks for sharing these.

[Quickblade22]

Always appreciated, never taken for granted. Thanks Jens.

[Athos]

I thought the categories were tougher to build this year. Or at least tougher for me to shoe-horn my in progress MOCs into.

Perhaps a chance to win a few giant sets. Or a pony.

Or a pony.

--Tony

Yeah, I vote for that.

[Blego7]

Excellent collaboration. Thanks for the gathering the results. It is interesting to see the numbers after the contest. Thanks again.

[Siercon and Coral]

Greatly looking forward to next year. I just barely missed this year from discovering the Lego internet community halfway through the contest. We shall go forth and increase the hype!

...or little more time 2 months sounds as much, but, when working it is not, especially because it is the end of the year that add some more time spending activities (presents etc) my last entries I added literary while my girlfriend was waiting at the door, all suit up for the NY party "Is it something for the work? Please don't tell me it is Lego that I see? We are late!"

3 months would be more time for new MOCs, or: each month (or two), the CCCC team could reveal one category, so we could have some time to build it.

I've seen your work on flickr; you will be a force to recon with welcome

[Karrde]

Reading these stats always makes me proud to have been a part of this event - even though I only entered one thing this year

[Tastymuffins]

If a pony were one of the prizes I would enter every category no doubt!
But a really huge set would be ok 2 x) and I think a little more time to build is better.. Being a TFOL the main time of this contest is occupied by school and midterms especially.. I like the 3 month idea!

[Unitronus]

Not to be hasty, but when will you guys announce the winners of the CCCVIII? Just curious.

[Bruce N H]

The judging is just about finished. We are waiting for one piece of information before we can make announcements.

[Unitronus]

OK, thanks. I almost feared that someone forgot about the contest.
