There has always been backlash in the past contests that furs of their liking have not won, however, there are still plenty of people that will definitely buy them; as you can see from a few of the comments on both Discord and this thread itself, as well as the discussions thread that is still open for discussing the results and the contest itself. Meli can always try to change some parts of the fur somewhat to make it look on point! I have always said, expect the unexpected, and for some, that is the case this year.

We can't just go by the number of hearts on the post or by 10 users favourites, if we did that then what would the point of a jury even be!? We can't get the whole of Transformice community to vote for their favourite fur, when there would be over 200 furs to choose from. It would also ruin the surprise for the winners and point of the contest, as it would turn out to be quite unfair with bribing and favoritism from friends.

The huge advantage this year is that quite many of the honorable mentions could/will be added to the shop in the future. I've attached an exclusive screenshot of the final voting phase spreadsheet, below. This shows the furs that made it through all phases, of which 6 won (winners + runner ups) and other 6 became honorable mentions. (All entries received points, no entry was left out with 0)

I've spent plenty of my personal time and patience to organize this kind of contest for the community as a whole, which has gone well for the third year in a row. I have always been thankful for the opportunity, as this is something I love doing, engaging with the community! It was a very very hard decision; hardest of all years due to the numbers, and I would like to ask you to appreciate the jury's hard work as well as all the winners and runner ups as much as possible, even if you don't like their creation or don't think you'll buy their fur when its implemented in-game. I'm not saying you can't say you don't like it, just keep it to a minimum to not to let down the creators, as they have definitely spent time into making them turn out great!

If some of honorable mentions eventually get added to the shop, would creators have their furs for free?
