5 weeks have now passed for the Team Fortress 2: Polycount Pack contest and that can only mean one thing: THE CONTEST HAS ENDED.
If you read all of the Rules & Submission Guidelines, then you knew you had to have your entry submitted by 00:01 PST on June 28th, 2010 to eligible for the Polycount Pack. With all of the amazing entries in this contest, we really hope everyone did read all of the rules! Just to refresh your memory, why not go over the Contest page one more time as there may have been a tidbit or two that you’ve missed when submitting your entry.
As I mentioned in Sunday’s 11th Hour post, it is recommended that anyone who’s entering this contest updates their original post with their final images for this contest. It’ll make the lives of everyone involved easier when trying to find your final shots.
SURPRISE!
We have a surprise for everyone who’s finished & submitted their entry for this contest. YES – EVERYONE who’s entered!* For your efforts in this contest, Valve is going to give each of you your very own GREENTOOTH PIN to wear in Team Fortress 2.
HUGE thanks to Polycount Member 'DKK' for creating this for the contest!!!
*Which makes it all that more important that you follow the submission guidelines found on the contest page.
Now then, instead of listing the great entries found in Week 5, here are great entries created throughout the entire contest. Great job everyone! Valve has their work cut out for them, as they’ll be announcing the winners on July 12th, 2010.

Anywho, I LOVE THESE PACKS AMFG!@!#@!@$#!
These are fucking awesome. Wish I had the time to contribute something
Thanks for the heads up, Al Capwn. It should be fixed now.
I'm really impressed with the results of this contest, I'm disappointed I didn't get a chance to participate but somehow I don't think I could have competed with the quality of some of the final entries of this contest.
It's going to be a tough job for Valve to judge this contest.
Best of luck to everyone.
WOO! Congratulations to all who finished. There's some really impressive work on display here.
I dont even care if I dont win anymore! there are so many quality packs that just having most of them ingame would be a godsend!
Good job everyone! you all deserve a good rest!
y'know what that is? BADASS! that's what that is
so many awesome entries and a greentooth to boot!
It's gonna be like christmas, but with weapons…
so I guess it'll be like christmas in Narnia?
P.S. if you take the "WIP" part out of my img tag there you should get the final pic instead of the wip one from a week ago;)
This contest was awesome, so much nice stuff was made. I want it all in game!
Great that they accepted the proposition for the greentooth pin, Valve are such swell guys
I'm going to wear it with pride.
Congrats to all the contestants, you guys really made some awesome and creative models. looking forward to the polycount pack announcement winners. best of luck to you all. good luck, you guys definitely deserve it. outstanding work and quality from everyone. thanks.
I just updated the pic for you, ScudzAlmighty.
If I messed up on submitting my stuff, can I resubmit?
Communist Cake – Yes, definitely!
I had a real fun time working on my entry and is was great to see everyone else awesome work. And the Greentooth badge is just a awesome way of rewarding everyone for working hard on their entries. Good call and good luck everyone!
YAY!
Oww, that cute Greentooth badge is kinda salting my not-having-time-to-finish wounds.
Anyway, best of luck to you folks. There's an awful lot of talent being thrown around in this comp.
Do i get a badge thing even though i didnt finish?
You would have to submit a complete entry to receive a badge.
Sparkwire, check your PM.
Congrats everyone! Kotaku'd!
Oh ho! Look at Mr. Fancypants Polycount getting on the gaming news blogs.
They should just say screw it and have everything win.
This was an amazing contest, congrats to all participants I wish everyone could win there's so many good entries, best of luck to all!
And thanks PolyCount and Valve for this contest =)
We definitely need alot more contests like these in the future… after all, thats what made polycount polycount
Im happy about the competitiion, made me find this forum and actually finish something decent
It would be nice somehow to receive an email or something if things aren't submitted properly. So many things can go wrong when uploading stuff.
That aside.. OMG! what an awesome contest this was! Learned so much in such a short time, my head still hurts.
Congrats to all the people who finished and good luck in this contest!
I had a lot of fun with this contest! So much great work from everyone.
Great contest. I get a little badge *glee* to use instead of my bronze.
just wish I had more time to learn more about modeling and texturing of all things.
I'm glad that there are such contests. really lets the community shine
Congrats to all you dudes who have been doing amazing things here. I'm always impressed by the shit you guys come up with, and the quality with which you do it. THUMBS UP!
Congrats everyone! Excellent work!
Could someone rehost the missing images on a dropbox?
This post is full of pyro hate.
awesome work everybody, super stoked for the pin. thanks all for the support and tips and cant wait to see some of this stuff in game!
Just a reminder guys: The pin is for anyone who finished and submitted! No love for slackers! MwuahahAha..
.. ahem.
Sorry, carry on.
Hey, my picture link is fixed now. Sorry about that guys.
We did good!
Valve will be use packs only from this? on from all 73?
When does people get the pin?already given out or given out the day the winners are announced? initially i hoped to win (as with everyone),but all these make mine look even worse than it already is…
dr. Eggman, learn to read!

I'm sorry to ask, but does this guy get it?
http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=73362
I mean if he does, anyone who just tried should get the badge. That is my honest opinion on how it should work. One guy spent more time on a uncompleted model that this guy spent on all his models.
LOL, you are a dick!
This guy has very little experience but at least he tried and send something in! Hell it might not be the best game art you have ever seen but at least he did something! plus you have no idea in how much effort he put into it! Hell for all we know it was allot more then laro for example. It takes allot of effort to start fully inexperienced with a very strange free modeling program. I was surprised he came this far! so yeah, this guy deserved the greentooth.
If you wanted it as well then you should have done something!
Yeah, you really shouldn't get a pin if you didn't finish your entry, I didn't finish my third item but I still don't believe I should get a pin 'just for showing up'.
