As usual it was really hard to finalize this list and I wish we could just give everyone prizes. Congrats to these amazing winners, though! Be sure to fill out the address form to collect payment. Filling out this form also enables rev-share on your account.

Flixel February kicks off on Monday! I honestly have no idea what the response will be, but the featured game of the week will be a great new Flixel game from Gregory Weir. It's sponsored, so it won't be competing for the prize money.

If you plan to participate but are having a hard time adapting our Flash Ads to your Flixel game, please contact me and we can assist you! Contest participants should include Flash Ads at least on the Newgrounds version of their games.

Congrats to the winners!!! Wish there were some more good Christmas games.

[Makeshift]

I haven't watched any of these. That's how dedicated I am to Newgrounds.

[Mattster]

Hahah! Congrats! Loved all of those winners :)

[EmmDubya]

What's up with the Morgan Freeman collab thread over there? Have they cleared out every post bar from the useful ones? There doesn't seem to be any replies in three days.

Tom, any chance you can make the Montreal Meet this year? :)

Pretty unlikely... I'm trying to be a good dad, and I already have to leave for stuff like Pax, Comic-Con and the upcoming Baltimore Meetup. Hopefully some day though!

I think it just went off the radar until now.

[peixeaquatico]

Thanks man

the bad will be split prize...:<>

[Chakra-X]

Aw shucks, no prize :(. Well that's what happens when you rush I suppose.

But I like these winners. The top winner was definitely my favorite. I think I prefer it this way, when the staff chooses the winners, instead of which had the highest score. Toungetied for example, while I mean no disrespect to the author and thought the art was very good and clean, did not have that much content. It had an accurate anime look to it and a quick cute scene yes, but then Snowfall had fantastic backgrounds, a more developed story and good animation for a more extended period of time, and yet was voted lower. Great job to all the winners!

[Hacsev]

Congrats to the winners! Jazza's flash was my favorite, though.

[FattyWhale]

Congrats to all the winners, great stuff!

[Narusegawa]

Great to see some new names atop the list of winners ;)~

My belated congratulations..

[PBass]

Congrats to the winners, everybody did a great job! Snowfall was my favorite!

[Baranar]

Congratulations to the winners.

[aquacelonafc]

Congratzzz 2 all in NG, so is there going 2 be a summer flash-off or spring flash-off
mmmm i wonder

[Zyphonee]

I am really surprised Tom, I expected JAZZA's animation to be higher, because a lot of users overrated it, instead, it gets the spot it deserves, that's great. I love JAZZA, but his flash got way too much of a high score.

Still it's from Gregory Weir. After experiencing "How To Raise A Dragon" I do believe I shall not be disappointed.

[Rucklo]

merry christmas!

[CantflyRyan]

KartuneHustla and Tomamoto really pulled off something great with their flash so I'm glad that won.

The staff did a good job at making sure to pick the most deserving flashes for the contest. I was really pleased with the submissions that ranked 1st through 6th. And let's not forget peixeaquatico.

[TommyVF]

Wow, I can't believe this! Thank you guys very much for enjoying the animation! Congratulations to the winners, 1st place was goofy, and congratulations Simon! Your movie was a proper real chunk of extreme cool-ness.

Happy new year, then!
