I've updated the NG History page to summarize how this year has been going so far.

Your votes are in and the Best of April have been determined! Here are the winners:

Top Five Animation

The top-ranked animation based on original material and winner of $250 is Printer Problems. Congrats, @Piemations!

@mattyburrito and @KevinTemmer will each receive $100 for 2nd and 3rd based on original material.

These prizes will continue next month thanks to our ongoing sponsors @A-Non-E-Moose, @53xy83457 and @olskoo!

If you would like to contribute to our animation prize fund, use the donation option on the Supporter page and PM me a heads up you donated towards animation prizes.

Top Five Games

The top (non-staff) game based on original material and winner of $200 is Statistica. Congrats, @Cakestorm! 

The 2nd-3rd winners of $100 each are NECROMICIDE and Exhibit of Sorrows.

Thank you to our ongoing sponsors @A-Non-E-Moose, @Manderby, @53xy83457, @olskoo and @wheezl.

The game prize fund is getting low and next month we will likely only award cash prizes for 1st and 2nd. If you would like to contribute to our game prize fund, use the donation option on the Supporter page and PM me a heads up you donated towards game prizes.

Being an ongoing Supporter is another good way to keep nudging NG closer to having a sustainable prize fund. We need your help for the long haul and recurring support is much appreciated.

Thank you everyone who gave us a great April! A lot of cool stuff happened here last month.

Thank u voters for your April votes. I am sitting out Pico day personally, so i can just binge watch / play stuff and get really drunk with Psychogoldfish.

First post tho

[Piss]

newgrounds gets better and better every month tom

[poopypeter]

nice

[DamnedByFate]

@Sexual-Lobster is only 9th? The gods are mad.

[Mitchelf]

Good content last month, hope this month is even better!

[FutureCopLGF]

Congrats to all the game devs: yet another solid month of games! A lot of games in fact: here I was getting comfortable dealing with fewer games, and suddenly an upsurge hit this month! So difficult to rank them with so many quality choices: it was quite the reward to sit down and play all of 'em once the Flash Forward Jam submissions were in!

Speaking of, congrats again to all the game devs that participated in the Flash Forward Jam! Was glad to participate with a little game of my own: thanks to everyone who played and enjoyed it (and thanks again to Tom for the generous deadline extension). Though I can see that I was up against some real titans: had a blast playing so many of them like Bird on Bird by starblinky, and congrats to BoMToons for Portal Defenders: first place for Flash Forward, this month's best, and my personal ranking for this month as well! They "still got it" as they said, haha!

Actually first post for once? Ew

[ParadoxOfZeno]

Wait, how is Sausage Game not based on original material? Is it solely due to the background music? That seems a bit unfair.

[Cyberdevil]

Congrats to the winners!

It is, but it's a staff project (@PsychoGoldfish)

[s-zenmode]

Congrats to all the winners

Maybe one day I'll be able to look at monthly voting and I'll say "Ma look that's me!"

But for now I gotta build the stairs before I climb them

[spoiler911]

Piemations has come do far. I am so happy to see it win!

I can’t! I’m too shaken… and stirred… with some salt on the rim and a lime wedge!
