PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS

Well, hello there.
I hope you are excited for our first Box of the Month award. :D
Of course since this is the first time we've done this, it may not go so smooth, but we'll try.

Here's the low-down.
The boxes must have either been made during the month of August, or at least enducted into the hall of fame during the month of August (it shouldn't matter here because it's the first time)
This month there have been many, many boxes that have been enducted into the hall of fame and first off i would like to congradulate dmshaposv for having the most boxes in the hall of fame this past month (4) and right behind him Lady Killer with 3.
great job guys!

other rules:
if your box is a nominee, it would seem nicer for you to vote not for your own box but if you really feel yours is the best and provide a reasonable explanation, your vote will be accepted
(even if the rest of the community considers you a conceited fart for the rest of your residence :p )


*Side-Note:
yes, some artist have multiple boxes as nominees (e.g. DMSHAPOSV)
but i think it is fine since this is not about artist of the month, but rather box of the month.
if you think this is unfair, see below about after this round when we discuss the pros/cons of this contest's current organization.


Anyways, the boxes of august with the most favorites are the nominees (this seems to work the best)

VOTING:
please post the number (#) of the box you wish to vote for
EACH VOTE ALSO MUST BE ACCOMPAINIED BY A SHORT STATEMENT FOR WHY IT SHOULD BE BOX OF THE MONTH

before the end of the week (depending on when sufficient votes have been given), the votes will be tallied and a winner will be announced.


ALSO
PLEASE do not post suggestions, criticisms or any comments dealing with rules or regulations of this contest
I would love to discuss the organization and accept any suggestions for the contest to improve, but all that will be done with after the first round comes to an end. (unless you are a crazed fool and must tell me something - which can be done through PM, but let me tell you, it won't affect the current round whatsoever)
this is to keep tallying the votes easier and since this is the first time this has ever been done it's much of a prototype that is sure to be improved, but let's go with the current set-up for now.

also please only post votes, please do not post score updates because i don't want current standings to influence opinions or the contest to feel like a race, because i'll close the results when i feel like enough votes were put in and there is an obvious winner. if this is a problem, leave it to be discussed after the round is complete.

sorry i know that was alot to read but i'd just like to clear things up since it is, once again, the first time this has been done.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION AND COOPERATION! :D

good luck to all :)

All these boxes are great. But I'm gonna go with what seems to be the underdog and vote Gunslingers Halo Wars box. I really like the design on the front, it really makes it seem a gigantic way. And the back is really cool, I love the screen borders.

[Ayron]

okay than, edit ^^:
I vote for #3, FF7 by DMs.
the box is well designed and it appeals me in every possible way.
the others are great, but imo,can't top the ff7 box.

[finalfantaseer22]

please remember to give a reason to your vote and please don't get to flashy with the text, just a # number and a short statement will do.
like for now ayron, i cannot accept your vote until you provide a reason.

i vote #2; it is very official looking and it's different from the rest of the mgs4 boxes.

[ELCrazy]

I'd have to go with #4: Kingdom Hearts III. It's just so lovely and wonderfully-made.

Don't get me wrong, the other boxes are simply fantastic, but this just sticks out.

[frenchboy1]

Really cool ff22 I gonna make the other one categorie : Not into the HoF boxes.

[frenchboy1]

I vote #2 FFVII box cause it's very wonderfull and looking official. The design of this one is just great.

[yummybrains]

i vote for #1 my sims... really well made and looks official

[frenchboy1]

[frenchboy1]

Let's go please we need more vote :D

[shadysaiyan]

I vote for #2 i think the mood of the box is great and all the colors go together so weel its awesome.

[Destroyer]

I vote #1 cause it really cute and colorfull. And it looking really official.

[Roboross]

I'm gonna go with #4, it looks, in my opinion, the most organized and thought out.

[finalfantaseer22]

please keep voting, it can't end until at least the ties are broken and a reasonable number of votes are in.

[Ladykiller]

hmmm....this is a very hard choice, but like werdney I'm gonna go with Gunslinger's Halo Wars box #5, because it's slick and the overall design is just outstanding.

[frenchboy1]

Come one guys ! Let's vote please !

[Vengeance]

I vote for Kingdom Hearts III by Ladykiller because the blending and effects are really nice. The design is great aswell

[IceFox]

I vote for My Sims by Youphoria. It has a clean and simple look and looks far superior to the official boxart and fits within the design and theme of the game whilst not losing the feel of a Sims game.

My vote is for #1

[paradox]

i vote #1, it's a well done box, and deserves best box of the month recognition.

[MajinPiccolo]

#4 please, that just stole my vote

[VGMaster]

Kingdom Hearts 3 or MYSims...

KH3!!!

That looks seriously awesome and has this great feel to it.

[rekiller51]

they're all awesome, but I go with the KH3 box. It has a unique feel to it with also a great design.

[Ervo]

I don't think i have voted.

MGS4 box. Pure awesomeness.

[Gunslinger]

:eek:

My Halo Wars box looks sophomoric compared to those other ones. Great job on the designs gentlemen. ^^d

[Poop Dawg]

#1 My Sims

Because I like how the creator made the box look like its official.
