The poll to decide the winners of the Dinosaur Toy Forum Diorama Contest 2018, sponsored by Urzeitshop, is now open!

Good luck to all 62 participants and many thanks to each and every one of you for taking part! Thanks also to everyone who takes the time to vote, and thanks to our very kind sponsor, Urzeitshop, who have provided some generous prizes for the contest this year.

The poll will run for 30 days and you can vote for your top ten [10] entries. Take your time when voting because once you've selected your dioramas, they can't be changed later. You're allowed to vote for yourself.

The entries will remain anonymous throughout the voting process so please don't give any hints, clues, or discuss which dioramas belong to whom. Also, please don't discuss which dioramas you voted for until after the poll closes. Otherwise, general discussion about the entries is more than welcome!

The forum rules and details of how the prizes will be allocated are here: http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=6724.0

So many awesome entries

choosing was very hard, but if I didn't do this quickly I would probably have forgotten about it

Doubt I will have much chance in going far, but congrats to everyone who entered and good luck to everyone

this year's entries are simply amazing

These are amazing this year! LOTS of enteries, holy cow. Im saving some of these for reference!

Ravonium · « **Reply #7 on:** August 27, 2018, 05:38:35 PM »

Well, I voted. I will admit that, to simplify things, I did award votes based on several self-created subcategories (of varying degrees of rigour

), but nevertheless, all the entries are great, and there is a good variety of styles.

Gwyndor · « **Reply #8 on:** August 27, 2018, 05:48:32 PM »

I think it'll take awhile till I am going to vote, just too many photos to choose from! Well there is a month to decide so that's good.
I am really blown away by the quality of some, and others are very creative!

Lizerd · « **Reply #9 on:** August 27, 2018, 05:50:49 PM »

This year's batch is definitely creative, so good job to other entrants

Mironimus · « **Reply #10 on:** August 27, 2018, 06:23:40 PM »

Great. Great. Great.

To pick only 10 pictures was hard.

I wish everyone who entered the Diorama Contest 2018 luck.
May the best Diorama win.

I hope that many many members will vote.

Agreed, thanks Mironimus, otherwise my entry would end up in the regular dioramas thread. This year has turned up some amazing entries

Dumb question but are these models custom made or are they models one can actually buy?

dinotoyforum · « **Reply #17 on:** August 27, 2018, 08:56:45 PM »

To ensure the dioramas are anonymous I think it might be best to leave that question unanswered until after the poll - if they are customs then I'm sure the diorama makers are itching to reveal themselves.

Fairs! Was just hoping that, if they were manufactured, I'd be pointed in the right direction to obtaining one. But yeah, these really do look like customs, I'll just wait til the winners are announced to ask again
