Round one of TGG has concluded. We had many great submissions, making it very hard to decide the placement, but the judges have made their decisions. The following contestants scored high enough to be in the top ten, and will advance to the next round.
________________________
1st place: @Eksenne
Critique: The judges pointed you out as a strong competitor very early into judging. They loved your text, realism, and they liked the little dust particles sprinkled around. Personally, I thought your cover represented the theme well, and combined with the judges scores, and spectator/contestant votes, you scored highest. Congratulations! You have received immunity in the next round!
2nd place: @omg_juley
Critique: This cover's creative name and unique style scored you second place. The judges loved your attention to the theme, and your colors were very well chosen. Furthermore, your cartoony/anime-y/pastel-y style was different and unique. Congratulations!
3rd place: @check_this_out
Critique: We were getting all kinds of sci-fi/adventure vibes with this one. This was one of my personal favorites, and the judges enjoyed your unique color scheme.
Congratulations!
4th place: _Ethar_
Critique: This cover is possibly the most emotional of all of them, and conveys the prompt well. The monotonous colors are balanced with the text, and the judges liked your take on the story.
Congratulations!
5th place: @Jello-Kun
Critique: The judges liked the cartoony approach displayed on this cover, and it looks very action-packed and exciting. The text is well-chosen and well-placed, and the colors all meld together very well.
Congratulations!
6th place: @Dream-My-Guns
Critique: This cover played on the "secret society"part of the prompt well, and did a good job blending colors. It is very well-made and professional, an amazing work from a true cover maker.
Congratulations!
7th place: @Multiple_Fandoms25
Critique: Well-placed and well-chosen text was enough to score you a seventh-place finish, as well as a colorful approach to the prompt and creative title. We would have liked to see a little more complexity with the text, but you're safe for now. Congratulations!
8th place: @Peachypxnda
Critique: Simplicity was what we were searching for with this cover, and you gave it to us. It is emotional but balanced, and the judges are very fond to minimalism. However, we would like to see you do something a little more complex in the future, as you were one of the few we picked out as talented in the beginning. Don't let us down.
Congratulations!
9th place: @imahungrybitch
Critique: Although this cover was a little bit more like a Japanese movie poster, and did not receive many votes, it represented the theme well as well as your individual style. The judges loved the colors, text, cogs, and your model.
10th place: @Mary_Serena
Critique: The judges had mixed feelings about this one. Most loved your take on the prompt, but everyone thought your highlighting lines were a little bit too harsh. Beautiful cover, just tone down the highlights next time. Congratulations!

The following contestants tried, but did not receive enough points to advance in the competition, and therefore have been eliminated. You are all very talented, and I am truly sorry to see you go.
31st: @_lavender_skye_
Your cover truly was good, but there simply were others that were better. We hope you will come back to season 2, but for now, you have been eliminated.
32nd: @TheMysticalOwls
Wow. This cover was one that you would see plastered all over Wattpad. It showed talent and emotion, but it's relation to the theme was not as strong. For this reason, I'm sorry to say you have been eliminated. Please come back for season 2. :)
33rd: @Yukio28
You expressed flawless skill with this Hermione graphic, but it seemingly had no relation to the prompt and wasn't the size of a cover. For these reasons, I'm sorry to say that you have been eliminated.
