Phenomena Challenge Voting Open!!!
Before I open the voting for this challenge I just want to take a moment to thank everyone who entered it.
I had three ideas in mind for this challenge and just before I launched the comp I chose the Phenomenon theme at random.. I almost groaned aloud when I did because it's a pretty difficult theme to make a demo out of!
I need not have been concerned because there has been a fantastic response to the challenge! There are 10 demos for you to look at and the standard is really high!! There are quite a lot of stand-out entries and it's hard to say what the top three will look like... That's your job to decide!
Please pick your three favourites, they are great demos and you really should look at them all before you vote, the entrants deserve it!
A small word about the sponsorship. The cash prizes are made possible by the generosity of the people who donated to the treasury. Even though it is very generous to abdicate from taking your cash prize if you win, please do take it.To keep things fair, here are the rules for voting and votes are checked by administrators.
Voting rules:
- Please vote for 3 entries, you MUST vote for 3, not 2 or 1.
- If you do not vote for 3 entris your vote will be removed.
- Please do not vote for yourself or you will be disqualified.
- Voting is open for 6 days from now.
- In the event of a tie break, there will be a vote-off.
- Please view all the entries before voting.
Good luck everyone!

Watch as a nicely synched plasma sphere does it's thing. It looks so cool that it almost makes you want to touch the screen as you would with the real thing.

Description :
Optimus had a great idea at the last minute to try and copy the look and feel of the amateur UFO videos that you can find on the internet. It's very short but works and is even quite humorous, listen to the sound effects to find out what I mean.
Entry Name: Galactic Doppler Shift

Anyone who's heard a police siren knows what the doppler effect sounds like as the car speeds by, apparently the same kind of thing happens to light which has a subtle effect similar to a prism.

Congratulations to the Winners!
Raizor + Neriakx
RBZ

All of them are deserving winners and I think that everyone who entered should give themselves a pat on the back, this was a difficult theme and it was a great turnout! Thanks for supporting this challenge.
Sigs and prizes will be given tomorrow morning.
Congratz Rbz, Raizor and NeriakX! :clap:
I really enjoyed the beautifull, original and interesting phenomena covered by all contestants!
All things considered I'm really happy with 3rd, thanks for the votes all! I fixed a few little annoyances in my entry which I didn't manage before the deadline, unfortunatly I wasn't able to speed it up. I'll post the update in my entry thread as soon as I'm able to log into my website again.
@padman
If only you hadn't voted for me, good sir, we'd have another vote-off, we'll meet again though! ;)
lol @ ck0! You did have one of the most interesting phenomenon in this challenge. Any word on your fluid space theory?
Well done everybody! I need to try harder with my presentation to beat you all!
Jim
Great challenge, cool entries and winners who really deserve to be on top. Congratulation to Raizor + Neriakx, RBZ and Kirl. And of course thanks to all other who entered.
Wow! :) Thanks for the votes everyone.
Well done Rbz, Kirl and everyone else who took part. There were some really nice entries this time.
Big thanks to neriakX too! Looking forward to working together again in future :)
Whoah, I'm truly speechless. Thanks everybody! It was big fun to work with Raizor and take part in this demo compo (although I only did the music). You know it's my first time, hehe. There were really good entries and it wasn't easy to vote. It's really cool to see what you guys come up with in like 2 weeks. I have much respect for this, chapeau! As I'm not a coder to me demos always have a magic touch ... feels like some David Copperfield tricks hehe .. "OMG, how did he/they do that?!". Thanks for surprising me another time :clap:
And to my mate Raizor: yes, I'd love to work with you again :)

A gold trophy on your first attempt is an achievement! They are all really difficult to win, even the bronze ones :)
Well done!
Well done ! :clap:

I'm still wrestling with the simulation. I've been talking to the science department at work, and they say it's an interesting theory, so it could gain acceptance among the wider scientific community.
Hopefully I'll score a bit higher next time :D
