Winner of the First Ever Flash Challenge was -
Safire Lotus!!

I was very impressed by the entries submitted and the level of enthusiasm for the first contest, even as just a mini-one! I hope this kind of creativity and energy never fades from this clan!

To be honest, I might have to make this guy for one of my future kings, because I can't stop checking this out!

Or maybe write a story about him. . .The lion cub raised by Aardwolves. . .

Safire Lotus had won 2!

Winner of the Fave Color Contest was -
Swag!!

It was almost a difficult decision to choose a winner for the favorite color theme, there were a lot of good entries and ironically the staffers voting - myself included - nearly chose entirely different favorite entries. But Swag's was a common favorite and so was the winner.

We love how much everyone seems to be enjoying the Fashion Shows and cannot wait to have many more! More prizes are being thrown into the Clan Hoard daily, making things more exciting every time.

Swag had won 3!

Winner of the Nature Contest was -
Wicka!!

It was really fun to see what people came up with in their interpretation of nature as the theme for this weeks Fashion Show contest! There were elements of wrath, despair, mercy and forgiveness. It really tugged at our heart strings!

We are so glad that the Wardrober Dome is a success so far and people are really enjoying themselves. The kindness being shared among clan members is something that I personally will cherish for a long, long time.

It is a much needed bright spot in reality these days!

Wicka had won 2 items of their choice from the Clan Hoard!

Winner of the Flash Challenge from Wind was . . .
Unnamed Raven!

Wind needed some inspiration for their heir and asked their fellow Warders for some ideas!

There were many fantastic and creative entries, it was hard for Wind to choose but one was finally chosen! And what a mighty one indeed.

It has been so wonderful to have clan members approach the staff, asking if they could host a raffle or flash challenge. We hope to see many more to come!

Raven had won The Marking Remover!

Winner of the Youth Contest was -
Emil Winter!!

Sometimes beauty is complex, sometimes it quiets and awes us all in simplicity. Emil Winter's entry was simple and yet captivating in that it held close the heart a precious moment in time for all living creatures - birth. The arrival of new life in a crazy, unpredictable world capable of both beauty and destruction.

Like many other beautiful animals, lions are endanger of disappearing from the world. Lioden is a place to show love and respect for such powerful and beautiful animals. Emil choosing to focus on the lions themselves in their naturality is what set their entry apart from the others.

Let the glory of lions resonate from this beautiful display.

Emil won their choice of 1 item from the Clan Hoard!

Winner of the Flash Challenge was . . .
Sweet Angel!

There were a lot of pretty entries for this flash challenge which was exciting to see!

I am really happy that people are benefiting from hosting a flash challenge for themselves, this is what Wardrober Dome is all about! Having fun in the Wardrobe and helping each other.

I love Lioden's Community, this place and my clan in particular - always puts a smile on my face.

I hope the clan will stand for a long time and will continue to provide fun and community for everyone who joins.

Angel had won 5 !

Winner of the Gathering Contest was -
Wicka!!

It came as no surprise that it was very difficult to choose a winner for the 100 members celebratory contest!

I turned to people who don't even play Lioden for a vote and this is how Wicka was chosen as the winner despite having won a contest already a few contests prior to this one.

However, there were still so many favorites in the lineup that I decided to allow a 2nd and 3rd place winner since this is such a special celebration anyways.

Not to mention, I along many others were simply impressed with the creativity from the contenders - as always. So far these Fashion Show contests have been fun filled and exciting to witness. Everyone is having fun and enjoying themselves which I love.

Wicka's entry had a lot of emotion in it, a lone survivor of a pride getting one last chance to see their family who have passed thanks to a shamanic lioness. As someone whose lost loved ones in real life, this was a heart throbber for sure! I certainly never would have come up with such an idea myself.

Second Place in the Gathering Contest was -
Cloudburst!!

It was very cute and comical to turn a lion into a zebra and as it turns out, several people went this route. Making leopardy lions and even hyenay lions. It just goes to show the level of creativity that is still burning bright in the clan and of course that burns bright in Lioden's artists as well who create all of this beautiful content for us to work and play with!

I also really like the fact that this makes me want to watch the TV show for the Lion King, not sure why but possibly because the zebras were pretty hilarious in the cartoon.

Third Place in the Gathering Contest was -
Renata!!

As I explained in announcing the winner, I had enjoyed the fact that Renata's entry made me think of my favorite childhood book series - Warrior Cats, and the fact that I have always loved the role of Medicine Cat!

It is nice to see what people decide to put together, how they choose their themes and makes you wonder what they're thinking and feeling as they build their scenes. What inspired them? A book, a movie or video game? Something they dreamed about once? A nature documentary? It's stunning where creativity comes from.

I am very proud of my clan members and their creativity. I can't wait to see more contests in the future!

The three winners were rewarded. . .

Wicka ~ 10
Cloudburst ~ 3
Renata ~ 1 item from the clan hoard (not a base app)

Yur_m0M.146!!

And -
Jimmie!!

We'll ignore the fact I forgot to post this here

Since only two people submitted an entry to this contest, it hadn't felt right to choose one person over the other when both designs were spectacular. So there was an undeniable tie! It was actually rather fitting, given one design was male and the other was female, complimenting each other.

There will be times where multiple places will be awarded or when a tie will be announced, we try to keep things as fair as possible and even turn to non-lioden players for votes (like my beloved fiance who is amused by my obsession) if we need a tiebreaker or simply an extra opinion.

Yur & Jimmie both won their choice of any one thing from the hoard!

Sphagetticatl!

The amount of patience and kindness in this clan is boundless and I love it.

Everyone is always eager to help each other with their needs, whether it's searching for a new heir and thus offering lions for free at discounted prices or even offering to help buy something someone needs. I love this clan, everyone is so kind to one another and friendly.

I cannot wait to host more flash challenges and fashion show contests, keep it coming ya'll!

Sghetti! won their choice of any one item from the hoard - no restrictions! ~

And the Winner of the Purrfect Lioness Contest was -
Ducky!!

It was wonderful to see everyone's favorite ideal raffle lioness, even some people including mutations which really would be wonderful to see on a raffle lioness.

Maybe someday the Gods of Lioden will smile down upon these designs and do something similar, wouldn't that be a wonderful surprise? I would certainly think so! In that case, may the odds be forever in the favor of the paws of this clan!

If you ever have an idea for a theme, just let the staff know! We love to hear ideas from people!

Ducky won their choice of 2 items from the Clan Hoard ~ No limitations!

Feileacan!!

As always this clan wow's the judges with their creativity!

It's always exciting to see how serious or humorous the entries are going to be, some come with stories while some are just silly and it brings a smile to the judges faces every single time. Hopefully we never run out of themes, because we're loving the participation that people put into these fashion shows!

We were a bit late announcing the winner for this one but real life comes first.

Fel won their choice of 2 items from the Clan Hoard ~ No limitations or 5!
