Here are the list of winners and their respective prizes. Congratulations to everyone, you all did well. It was seriously so hard to choose a winner.
PLEASE READ BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE!!! 👇
This round was about color schemes and how you worked with what you were assigned. My ranking and judgement was based on how you actually followed the color scheme regardless of how pretty your cover is. The co-judges however judged on their own basis so everything is fair and unbiased.
I repeat, every judgement was judged deliberately without any bias!
Just know that the level of importance is:
1st : Average Ranking
2nd : Total Score
3rd : Audience Votes
I also added in a new segment for the ranking. So, you see the entries below with the numbers? This is how I base my ranking, I compile it like this and I rank based on how I see the covers.
If you want to comment your own rankings, you may too. Let's see if our rankings are the same! That way, I can see how you would rank as a judge.
Contestants can give it a whirl too.
Comment here who would you place first?
Second?
Third?
Fourth?
Last?
⑄ ◈ ⑄
Also, if anyone was curious as to how I tally and compile the scores, here is a sneak peek. Of course, I use my phone for notes but those ones are more personal. Sorry for my handwriting, my handwriting looks better than this but when I don't give a damn, I write whatever.

Top Right - Judges Left or Right Cover Preference
Bottom - List of people who voted and how many times they voted

Everyone may choose to claim their mini prizes if they want to but if you're saving for an even bigger prize, you may choose to wait.
Having that said, the next round will be uploaded soon today.

My Comments: Once again miss galacticosmic, you are the winner. Although it was so difficult to rank this round and our rankings are all over the place, you were at least ranked 1st-3rd. I think the main reason is because how well you did with the disadvantage. Beige is actually a very pretty color if used right. I really loved your subtitle, that was so unique. I also liked the mix and match of pictures and overlays. My only critique was for some reason it looked a bit dark for me. Even when I up my brightness, compared to the others, your cover looks significantly darker. I don't know if it's because you toned down the brightness or the saturation but a color like beige should be presented more brightly. Other than that small detail, a really beautifull edited cover. Congratulations!

My Comments: Wow Eirlys! You have been consistently in the top 4! That is such an achievement and I am so proud. I am so glad you stucked with black and white like how you were supposed to. You knew what looked good and even if your colors were black and white, you can clearly see the picture. The butterflies were a beautiful touch, they didn't stand out but they didn't feel unnecesary. I liked how you went for a simple crown and sword and it really works. Also, the subtitle is so creative, I really wouldn't have thought of it and it matches with the title so well. I don't have any critiques on your cover, that's how good it was. Keep up the great work!

My Comments: Oh my gosh, girl you're in the top 3! In the past 2 rounds, there were times that I would have ranked you higher. You finally solved your bluriness issue, this cover is beautiful. I ranked yoy first because it has everything I wanted and more. It stood out to me, and it made me say damn! I kinda wished the 'match' was of the same color and texture with "the perfect". The face claim was edited beautifully and I love the butterflies. Some might find it odd that it's big, but I actually like how huge it was, it made me drawn to the cover. Your subtitle was quite basic but the criteria wasn't about the subtitle so you're good! Congratulations! Hope to see you in first place soon!

My Comments: You're rising up the ranks Juhi! This is the best cover you have so far in this contest. I love how you really went with blue and orange. The font colors were perfect if they didn't blend too much. Maybe making it darker would look better. Also, maybe making your username smaller will make your cover not look crowded. Your face claim is perfect for the cover too. It's just good, but I also found it looking a bit messy. Maybe work on making your covers look more neat and polished. Overall, fantastic job!

My Comments: You definitely won the hearts of the people. Your cover was pretty and beautifully edited. I love the idea and the glare in between the subtitle and your username was so well done and prefectly placed. However, I am judging based on color scheme and your color scheme was blue and white, not blue and black. This is the reason I ranked you 13. You would have definitely been ranked higher, but my basis was the color scheme so I hope you can understand.

My Comments: You were the first entry and The_True_K and I were definitely a fan of the left cover. It was just so pretty however I feel like you haven't really expanded your style of editing. Your 3 entries look very similar and there is nothing wrong with that but it lacked creativity points and it didn't stand out. I love the editing and the font. The green in the fonts looked quite odd. I think your main issues are usually your fonts. Try to find more diverse fonts to work with. It might compliment your covers more.

My Comments: I know you're probably disappointed about the results. There was literally nothing bad with your cover. Maybe I would have liked more of the gold than the yellow but your ideas! Like that is such an interesting cover and there are some cool elements but the cover looks more gold and white than gold and black. Again, I am judging based on color scheme and I know you had a hard time with the shading since you asked if yellows and oranges counted as shades of gold. And they do count, but unlike cutie_pixie123, your gold looks more yellow while her yellow and orange looks more gold. Still a great job and love your editing. I have high hopes for you in the next round.

My Comments: You did really well Kris, and even though I said it was okay, you used the same picture for your first entry. I know that you sent a 2nd entry but your 1st one was just more preffered. I wouldn't have minded the reusing of picture, but you edited it the exact same way so it doesn't seem to stand out. Maybe if you removed the swirl and replaced it with something else. Idk, that's just my personal opinion. You did good on the color scheme and you kept it simple. Great job!

My Comments: I know you are probably wondering, if it weren't for me, you would have been ranked higher. I noticed you've always been in the middle every round. Your covers are the covers I expect to be higher up in ranks but you consitently stayed in the middle. I ranked you 12th because the color scheme wasn't that clear to me. The only pink you added to your cover were her eyes, her lips and a little bit of blush. It would have been nice to maybe have your fonts in pink or the face claim's hair would be pink. If not for that, I actually would have ranked you first for editing because I love your editing style the most. Next time, you should read the 'About' and 'Reason' found at the beginning of the round prompt because it says what I base my judging on. Hope you keep this kind of style and improve more on the next round which I think might be up your alley.

My Comments: You are noticeably going down in ranks and I am genuinely sorry if that's the case. I know you have so much potential but I think the reason why your covers don't stand out is because of the lack of filters to give it a more polished and edited look. You followed the prompt, the editing was marvelous, the font could have been more brown. I personally wanted to see Blue and Brown work well and both of your entries dominantly focused on blue rather than making the cover a blue and brown masterpiece. Next round, I hope to see more of a polished look.
Audience Votes: 5 (it accidentally deleted when I added in the 2nd cover so the votes disappeared, however, it's still part of my records so if you're wondering why, that's why)

My Comments: I know it seems like the results aren't getting better but you have so much potential. Your cover looks like VisualGraphics' entry so it doesn't look unique. It could have really been better without the swirl. You followed the prompt and it was edited well but there just seems to be that lacking something that would make the judges rank you higher. I suggest looking at more tutorials and focus on making your coverd look less more polished. I suggest having a filter. A good filter can really make a difference.

My Comments: Why didn't you tell me you changed your username sweetie? I literally had a crisis looking for you. Haha, love the new username, it really suits your personality. Moving on to your cover, please don't forget to put a watermark, that's not necessary for the contest but I really want the creator to get the credit for making the cover, so please keep that in mind. I know that you said that it might look blurry and even though wattpad effs up the quality, you know if a cover is already blurry even before Wattpad touches it. I think you made it too hd and im return, it loos over contrasted. Maybe keep the effects on neutral a don't overdo contrast and saturation. Love the face claim. I also wish your background was different because I have seen it so many times, so it doesn't feel original. Keep your hopes up! I believe there is more things to come for you!

My Comments: So you were in last place and you were given an advantage to choose your colors. I believe you improved because you took some of the advice into consideration. This is your best entry to date. I love the idea of Demi in a glass ball and the eyes in the background gives me fantasy vibes. I just wish you gave more effort to your fonts, make it more stylish. Also maybe give it something more fun to look at. You are getting there. If you practice your fonts and give the cover more pizzazz. You can definitely be more in the top 10. Let's go Brooklyn! I believe in you!

My Comments: So Dibs, you're in the bottom again. I actually like you're cover and I would rank it higher but your color scheme is black and pink not white and pink. You used more white. The title clashed with the Japanese text and you didn't include a subtitle. The usernames were also barely seen and placed awkwardly. You could have placed it at the bottom. You definitely imptoved and your score is better. At least you it's not a 50 below. Keep improving!

My Comments: Hi Kiana, you just recently entered and you are probably new to how everything works here. The judges and I aren't yet familiar with you and we are still getting used to you. This was your prime chance to wow us, seeing as you were a fresh face. We can obviously tell you are a beginner. This is not a bad thing. Comatose7 and NALU6999 were part of the bottom and in just two rounds, they have alreasy improved so much. I have so much faith in your improvement and I hope the judges and I can be the people to help you improve along with the other contestants and bystanders. Your cover would have worked really well if the quality was better. The girl should have been more red and the boy could have been more blue to solidify the red and blue color scheme. You need a better font. I suggest dafont.com for people who can't afford to but good looking fonts. There are a lot of books in Wattpad offering free tutorials, you can read and watch them and apply it in the next round. Good luck!
