Gratz to the winners, even though i dont see any captioned screenshot in there.

"Caption the screenshot" means to me, that you get a screenshot and give it a title, not draw around in it. Correct me, if im wrong, but in my understanding noone did what was asked for.. *confused*

You're not wrong.

Wow! How freaking underwhelming. Rules? We don't need no steenking rules!!

I barely ever comment on these but I logged in just to comment this one time.
Gotta say I agree with the others, this was the most bs contest I've seen so far. The design ones, maybe there are 1 or 2 dubious entries but most of them are beautiful artwork. For this?
First not even respecting the rules about characters (I know you said 300 characters caption but common, you considered the caption the whole work) and out of all the submissions these were the chosen ones? I looked at these in the forums while posting mine and just browsing to see whhta others were up to and I thought to myself "What? How's that funny?" And surprise surprise, they were picked.
I don't necessarily think mine was funnier, it's your sense of humour not mine but holycow, some of these were bad. I'm disappointed on this one GGG

mhh, haven't won, oh well, gratz the winners..

Hmm I am not really sold on any of those entries, and no, I didn't do one of my own, so I am not salty ;)

thas what a gave you!

Congrats to the winners!

I know there are always going to be those bitter that their entries didn't get selected. That's life, unfortunately. What's entertaining to one group might not be entertaining to another. Just know that if you didn't win, many of us still enjoyed your work. I know I enjoyed scrolling through all of the entries. Too many good ones to comment on. And many where people invested a lot of work, care, and thought, but didn't make the winning list.

I invested two solid days of work into mine (may be 15 hours or so), and happy to have a winning entry, but the real fun was in the process of creating it.

Again, grats to all of the winners! :-) And Bex, thanks for hosting this contest.

So much fricken salt in here man, jeez people.

Awesome contest idea, but there were two problems that you can hopefully learn from in future contests:

1. You didn't stick to your own rules.

2. You didn't adequately explain what you wanted. This wasn't a caption contest; it was an image-editing contest. If that's what you really wanted, then SAY SO in advance.

If you can avoid those mistakes in the future, you'll probably get a lot less negativity upon announcing the winners. I also think most of the ones you picked are not funny, but notice I don't complain about that, because humor is a matter of taste.

I also think an ACTUAL caption contest would be really fun and funny. Please make one happen!

Don't think most people are bitter they didn't win. They think it's nonsensical that you can win without abiding to the rules. Quite understandably they call bs.
