Weapon Design Contest: Any News?

[juicybug]

Hello!

So, I've not heard or seen anything about this or when the voting entries will be revealed other than "Sponsor shall select the winners on or around March 31, 2022 (PDT)"
and then again "Sponsor, or Sponsor’s designee, will notify winner(s) on or about April 30, 2022 via the Lodestone website."

Well, here we are and no news yet- anyone looking forward to seeing the entries when and if they're revealed?

I'm curious too and was wondering the same thing. They gave a very vague date.

As of this post, it is 12:43PM Mar 31, 2022.... so, they do technical have many hours left to select, subject to:
Sponsor shall select the winners on or around March 31, 2022 (PDT) at 999 N. Pacific Coast Highway Blvd., El Segundo, CA 90245, USA (unless pandemic conditions require the selection to take place at alternative locations).

Also, the way I read it, they will first notify the winners via the game or via their account email at end of next month:
Sponsor, or Sponsor’s designee, will notify winner(s) on or about April 30, 2022 via the Lodestone website, email and/or in-game via the moogle delivery service to the character specified in the Entry submission.
It is very likely they wont go public with the results until the winners are all notified first.

I found this on twitter: "Thank you all for your amazing entries!

The judging process is taking longer than expected, so we will instead be announcing winners in late April. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience."

Guess we'll have to wait a bit longer.

Awe bummer- thank you for this though! I wonder if we're free to post entries then? It's not like anyone can enter with a copied design.

Damn! I really wanted to see if my entry made it as a runner-up or not. Waiting almost 6 months was already painful enough (T_T). Thanks for the info though.

For safety's sake, it's probably best to wait until the announcements are made.

I wonder why they're not doing a public/player voting?

To be honest, I found it rather messy when they did that for the hairstyle contest. I also like that finalists get feedback on their designs this way.

Can' wait to see if I made it or if it was removed XD
