We congratulate you on your good scores and perseverance and hope to have you in next year’s competition again!
We got 35 applications from 16 different countries. 17 competitors sent their solutions for the first round from Croatia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Lithuania, Slovakia, Spain, Russia and Ukraine. Many of them had to give up the competition halfway, mostly due to lack of time. Nevertheless we want to thank and congratulate all of you for your witty answers, beautiful photos and magical artworks. Special mention is due to competitors who scored at least half the available points even though did not make it to the final round: Nerya (Greece), Melwyn (Hungary) and The Lonely Dunedain (Hungary).
We are also grateful to all tolkienites and Tolkien Societies all around the world that helped us reach so many people with this competition. We might have missed some but we saw the news of the upcoming competition spread by the Czech, Bulgarian, German, Greek, Iranian, Lithuanian, Romanian, Russian, Slovakian and Spanish Tolkien Societies and/or Pages, and also by The Tolkienist. We also got nice answers from Austria, Croatia and Finland about sharing the word, and everybody was heartwarmingly happy and enthusiastic about our invitation. We are looking forward to make our competition international again the next year, and ideas for new tasks are as welcome as new competitors.
