If you contributed to AlmightyHans' comic book, please READ HIS POST. He is trying to hunt down a lot of contributors to wrap up some last-minute loose ends.
Time to announce the winners of the Halloween competition! As usual we have tried not to stray too far from the audience voting, but have made adjustments where they seem fit.
I decided to break games into their own category so they could get some decent prizes.

Congrats! All winners will receive stickers and a 2009 NG Calendar, soon to be released in the store!
Rather than PM Bob, all winners should fill out this form. Prize money will be split based the percentages specified in your submission!
BONUS CONTEST: You have until Monday to respond to this thread with a SINGLE recommendation for "overlooked gem" of the Halloween contest. I can already think of a bunch that I didn't include in this post.
The winning gem will receive $100 and the person who discovers it will receive a 2009 Newgrounds Calendar! To enter, respond with a single submission and include 3-4 sentences about WHY you think it is one of the best non-prize-winning submissions. To post a link like the ones above, simply paste the URL of the submission on a line by itself.
Winners for Best of October will be announced early next week along with the winning Halloween gem.
I'll also be making a dedicated post next week for Edmund's CD, now available in the store. For now, here is the short version; Edmund has been contributing to Newgrounds since 2001 and has won lots of awards. This CD contains the past ten years of his life: comics, sketchbooks, animations, movies, games and commentary. The first run of 50 CDs are signed by Edmund and buying them will earn you a limited edition icon like the one cableshaft got with his purchase. Once these 50 sell out, you will still be able to get unsigned CDs with the "standard" icon, but only the first 50 will get the "signed" exclusive icon and signed disc.
