Photo Contest Winners!!!

by Crazy Ivan


Let me begin by saying how happy we were to get such a huge response to this contest.  Well over 100 photos were submitted from Facebook, the Myachi Forum and by e-mail.  Animal, Monk and I have spent the whole morning whittling down all the great pictures and trying to come up with a top 3.

After more than 2 hours of painstaking "Oh but what about..." and "Yeah, but remember this one" we were still unable to get the number down to a top 3.

I promised that we would have a top winner who would get a Sparks7 Myachi and their choice of 5.0s, a 2nd place winner that would get a 5.0 and a 3rd photo selected at random to also win a 5.0.  After seeing all the great entries we knew there was no way we could pick only 2 winners so we got special permission to expand the pool of prizes to 5.

But we still had trouble deciding on a top 5!  There were so many great pictures as so many deserving contestants that we had to share a couple of the really deserving entries that didn't quite make it into the prize winning top 5.

So first the incredible runners up:

#10: Most Extreme Entry:

And a special nod for how hard it must have been
to balance that Static Cling...

#9) Creepiest Entry:

Hats off for making a Myachi look nightmarish enough to
be on a Swedish death metal album cover...

#8) Most Seasonal Entry:

Spring is in the air and the Braveheart Blues are blooming...

#7) Most Anthropomorphic Entry (look it up...)

Sometimes calling a cab and chatting with mom
are one and the same.

#6) Most Artistic Entry:

Brilliant use of color here.  Picture is too cool for a snappy caption.

Now, obviously all of those pictures could easily be winners.  Any one of them could rightfully stand at the top of our list, but there were even more fantastic entries that we had to sift through.

This is where we start getting into the prizes.  The next 4 entries all win their choice of 5.0 Myachis and as you'll see, they really earned that prize.  Winners should contact me by e-mail at crazyivan@myachi.com and I can get with them about claiming their prizes.

#5) Cutest Entry:

Obviously adorability counts for a lot.

#4) Deadliest Entry:

Alright, so it probably wouldn't kill you but that Aztec Red is risking life and tag.

#3) Best Pun:

Myachi Veterans will immediately recognize the Electric Orange Shag reference.

#2) Edgiest Entry:

I could so see this on the cover of Myachi Magazine...

So congrats to the intrepid photographers that snapped those award winning pics.  The only thing left to do is announce our winner and I can't really build much suspense since you've probably already scrolled down far enough to see it.  Given that, I guess I'll just get right to it:

#1) Best Entry:

Just remember dude, soft catch!

This last photo was unanimously selected by the Myachi Masters as the best overall picture.  It took a long time to decide on the other winners and the order they would go in, but this picture has it all.  It's a great picture of a Myachi, it has great use of color, it's funny, it's striking and it shows a ton of creativity.

That being said there were also a ton of great pictures that didn't make our final 10.  We had way more entries that deserved recognition than I could fit on this blog.  Thanks to everyone who participated and remember, there's always another contest right around the corner.  I hope all the contestants had as much fun with this thing as I did.
