Splash screen contest voting results

The splash screen design contest voting results are now officially in! We thought you might be interested in the final rankings.

Overall rankings

As you can see by the pie chart below, the voting results varied greatly. While a few entries received concentrated votes, most votes were widely spread out.

Overall we received 91 total design submissions from 21 individuals. Some contestants submitted only one design entry, while others contributed over 25 entries at one time. In the end, 171 total contest votes were cast.

Here is a quick breakdown of the community’s top design picks, along with prizes to be awarded in order of ranking:

1st place

11 votes were cast for entry #01, submitted by veteran plugin author Scott Harrison.

11 votes (7.9%) for entry #01 by Scott Harrison

Scott will receive an embroidered Corona backpack and a license for the Splash Screen Control plugin.

2nd place

The 2nd place entry had 10 votes. This entry was submitted by Bram Vanbilsen.

10 votes (7.1%) for entry #06 by Bram Vanbilsen, along with “light” version

Bram will receive a Corona t-shirt and a license for the Splash Screen Control plugin.

3rd place

Entry #10 received 8 votes and was submitted by self-taught animator and Corona ninja, Noah Malewicz.

8 votes (5.7%) for entry #10 by Noah Malewicz, along with “light” version

Noah will receive a license for the Splash Screen Control plugin.

Honorable Mention

11 votes were also cast for entry #20, submitted by Corona veteran Jason Schroeder. His entry demos a Corona project with an animated version of the individual splash screen logo and text elements.

Since the submission fell outside the contest guidelines, this entry will be awarded Honorable Mention. For his efforts, Jason will receive a license for the Splash Screen Control plugin.

Moving forward

We will continue to refine the splash screen, balancing changes with the goal of increasing Corona’s brand recognition. We will also continue to iterate and enhance the functionality of the Splash Screen Control plugin. It’s an important part of making people aware of all the great games and apps that have been created using Corona SDK.

Congratulations to the top entries! We want to sincerely thank everyone who submitted designs, cast a vote, and participated in the contest.
