You've waited, and waited and waited once again. Now it is finally here. The outcome of the 2022 Vanilla Contest! Among the close to 50 submissions - which emerged victorious? Which were too long and/or difficult to appeal to our judges? Which are gems of their own despite not making top placements? Find out all this and more below.
Let's begin by counting down the TOP 10! What a tight race! I mean, just look at those scores! But here come the BIG 3. Give it up for...
HOCHI MAMA, what a tight top 2 race! But a round of applause to all our top 10, with just 11 points separating the lot of them. If you play these levels I'm sure you will see that their placements are well-deserved, with their creators' hearts and souls flowing into their levels' every screen.
With as few judges as we've had, the results are perhaps a bit more homogeneous than usual, so make sure to lend some attention to the lower-ranking levels as well. You might just find a personal masterpiece!

I'm very confused. The spreadsheet tells me MECHDRAGON gave me a 60 but the review says 87. What is the correct score?

Oh OOPS I made a mistake. 87 is correct. I'm so upset I didn't catch that earlier. Sorry for the confusion and misinformation. I fixed the thread, medals and sheet.

If you wish to create a contest episode for this contest, please use this pack over the prior release.

Does this mean an official episode (such as last year's The Crrrypt) is not being released? Will the community have to create one in its stead?

Congrats to Jur1121 for winning and everyone else for their achievements! Now I can finally relax after a crazy seven months heh

I'm glad for all the contestants, they all did a good job! And hey, I got a medal!

With the former host unavailable to create one and me never having had the intention of doing management work for this contest, things like the results video and contest episode weren't on the table for me. I just wanted to get you the results as fast as possible.
Usually I work on contest episodes during submission and judging periods, and I'm not capable of dedicating a lot of uninterrupted time to them these days, so it would be a very stressful month of everyone waiting and me trying to squeeze it into a busy schedule, perhaps even getting in the way of Science Contest management due to bad timing.
I hope you understand.

congrats to the winners and the participants.

I hope you understand.

I completely understand. No worries at all. I was just curious.

I appreciate you working hard to get us the results and wrapping up this contest.

Finally, after a while.
Congrats for the winner and of course, all of the participants.
I'll make sure to join the next one this year.

Hello! The medal I was awarded was for GreySlashJay's level, and it appears that GraySlashJay didn't get a medal at all..
