The Pico Day winners are finally ready to be announced! If you aren't familiar with Pico Day, it's an annual event where artists, musicians and game developers celebrate classic characters of Newgrounds. You can view the entries in this collection. Here are the winners!
Top Five Movies ($500, $300, $200, $100, $50)
Because I couldn't think of a better title
What's this? a full Newgrounds console game?
Pico has a lovely day
A battle between Nene, Dad, and Pico!
Girls fight for pico's love!
I had to expand the movies category a bit because there were some strong contenders. Pico Day by CRLproductions left the biggest impression on me and was pure quality. Newgrounds game teaser was really polished and you can see it as a game. Pico's Happy Day was a joy to watch, Pico Day Battle addressed the need a good battle movie each year and Pico's Cat Fight brought the extra bit of wackiness to top it off.
Top Three Games ($500, $300, $200)
Pico goes on an adventure in hell
It's time to re-fight those pesky Raybots in a 8-bit Demake!
Newgrounds is in ruins. P-bot intervenes. Features Tom & Stamps limited animation hi-jinx!
All of these games were great. Pico Goes to Hell wasn't finished due to a HD crash, but it still grabbed the prize because of the magical quality it posesses and how it made me feel when I played it. Cathode Raybits is an awesome Cathode Raybots tribute with some great enemy and level design. I'm mad at myself that I'm not better at it, I'm not good at the harder Mega Man games either and this definitely ranks among the harder Mega Man games for me. P-Bot Has No Hope has some great in-humor for NG fans and will definitely test your reflexes.
Top Three Art ($200, $100, $50)
Hello Newgrounders! I was planning to make an animation for this year's Pico Day but sadly I was unable to (like always). H...

Newgrounds isn't about a ginger kid and his black and white tankbuddies. It's about potential and ambition and cocks. This is...
Pegosho took the #1 spot because his was the first time I sent a piece of art from NG right to the printers so I can put it up on my wall. Not sure why I haven't done that more in the past but FedEx did print it way too dark and messed up the aspect ratio so I'll have to figure out how I want to do that in the future. Izzy-A's work really popped off the screen and brought back fond memories of Tankmen: Incursion by Proxicide. Test-Object made a beautiful piece and expanded the Pico Day universe beyond the in-house characters, which has been suggested these past few years but not many people do.
Top Three Music ($200, $100, $50)
Dubstep track for Pico day
Analog By Nature - Beatbox Pico Day!
Aggrotech Track for PicoDay2014
Ignite took #1 for just being a purely awesome song. There were a number of great songs, which made judging tough, but Beatbox and Bloodlie won out for having both quality and some great Pico Day themes.
Best Collab
The year is 2014 and it is Pico Day!
Thank you ForNoReason for organizing this collab! Lots of really talented people came together on this one.
That wraps it up for the Pico Day 2014! Thanks again to Mahjix for his beautiful Pico Day skin. Whirlguy was first to name all the characters and his Mystery Box is already in the mail.
Thank you everyone who participated in Pico Day this year! I feel kinda weird doing it each year when the characters are getting older and older and we're tied up developing some new characters instead of making more stuff with the old ones. It's cool to see Dad from Dad 'n Me keep coming up each year, we still talk about doing something big with those guys one day.
As for Pico... NG Supporters can now play the unfinished Pico 2 build that MindChamber and I started 13 years ago! For real this time. The commentary on that page includes links for some additional unfinished pieces. Hope you like it!
That's not lemonade.
good work lads! keep up the insanity!
oh and @Tomfulp, seriously - is Pico based on Maniac Mansion or what? GET BACK AT ME BRO!

Not based on Maniac Mansion but I did play a lot of point 'n click adventures as a kid, especially Sierra games like Kings Quest, Police Quest and Space Quest. Maniac Mansion was right up my alley but I never actually played it growing up. :(

I think I might need to re-logo this picture
But isn't it just ironic?

Hahah woah! Although Pico wasn't the most unique attempt to provide a variety of character types.
Wow thank you so much for the 3rd Place Tom! I am very grateful! I'm going to use the prize money to buy a better tablet and bring better content to this amazing site! couldn't have asked for a more amazing day than Pico day!
Glad to see the Cat Fight in that list of movies! The CRLproductions animation definitely left a heavy impression, but the latter one provided some refreshingly harmless violence and expressive entertainment.
Woot! Yeah! The Pico Day Collab gets a mention too! :D
Congrats to all the winners! Congrats @Whirlguy!

Awesome... and this mentioned right at the end of the post, as if it wasn't the most note-worthy piece of information there! :D I hope the link'll be popping up on the account page soon, for quick access/reference?

As usually, there was some great stuff this year too :'D
Congratulations to all the winners! XD
Yay! Thanks a lot for the 1rst place, Tom. :)
Btw, so the print turned out too dark? Strange, maybe it has to do with my monitor's brightness. If you want, I can email you a brighter version of it and see how it turns out.

I should have changed it to CMYK first but even then I could have raised brightness - I don't think it was anything wrong on your end. If it took it to a more professional print shop I like to think they would get something that better matches what a typical screen looks like.
Awww maaaaan, well, happy for the winners ya'll earned it :P
Sure could've used some prize money so I could hire an artist for the next BIG game, though :(
Good.
Oh wow, I got first place awesome!
Tom, thank you for appreciating the time I put into making that sonuvabitch.
Wow, second! I didnt think I'd wimn anything since there was so many good submissions. Been playing them all during work but now I need to log in and win the medals. Congrats to the winners and everyone who took part! :)

If ye need some help with art drop us a message and I'll see what I can do. I've got some spare time at the moment that I can help peeps with projects.
wow second place, thanks!
hey i can say I've actually made money from animation now.
Congrats to this year's Pico Day Winners!
"I am a part of all that I have met."- Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Congrats to the winners, they were well deserved! Maybe next year I'll be up there if my animation is finally done ;3
This Pico Day animation was really good and had some nice animation but it only has like 700 views and I think it definitely deserves more:
OH FUCK I MISSED PICO DAY
And uh... this one doesn't have a lot of views either... ;3
In an attempt to cure Pico's depression, FrogMan and Pico shoot stuff!
Pico Day was fun though. Hopefully there's some sort of party next year, even if there isn't a big office.
Congrats to the winners... just feel a bit down that Johnathan Wrathbourne didn't complete his Pico day submission, or even enter the trailer in the competition.
60 second teaser for the first 2XXX a.d toon
Now building Vault 101, reverse engineered from yesterdays technology.. or I could ignore it, and let you figure it out |:
Joy! A comfortable second place win!
Thanks & love Tom, NG staff, supporters & members!
Perhaps we can start doing some massive collaborations with other NG creators soon. Itching to get something started! :)

Heh, far from surprised that I didn't win. My "Spinning Edition" was made very quickly and for the laughs.
So, congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Winners! You deserved it.
I make half-decent Stickmen animations. My old username was supermario63rox, too. I hate that username.
Cliff the Gap Leaper 2! You wanna join?
Woo-hoo! 1 st place, thanksTom. NG is the best
