The Polycount Choice award was chosen by Drew, Seth, and Adam from Polycount under the criteria of what we felt spoke the best to Unreal Tournament and where we think the franchise is going, based on Epic's showing of the game so far. Our choice has a clean, clinical science-fiction theme to it that we think would work really well for an arena combat style of game like Unreal Tournament. Based on that, we're giving the Polycount Choice award to Gooba for their entry, which also won First place from Epic!
Gooba's Old Space -- Congratulations!!!

I'm glad that not only do I think about it
Maybe the criterion for what the judges were looking for probably should've been made known--maybe the others wouldn't have submitted such finely-rendered different routes. It's almost enough to discourage folks from these contests--it often seems like the outside-the-box guys rarely win.
Anyways, that's just little tiff about the judging--not the participants. Nothing but respect to the participants. Congrats to the winner, congrats to the runner-ups, and congrats to all those who completed something for this contest.
