My Fave 5 - Showdown Time!

After five weeks of faving like maniacs, we've reached the showdown portion of our My Fave 5 Contest. Our winners have put in a great effort and have shown incredible creativity and, more importantly, great sportsmanship...but that's all about to end! I had forecasted a battle of the scene-divas sometime after round three and it looks like we won't be disappointed.

If you visit our contest page now, you'll notice each scene has its own 'vote' button. You get to vote on your favorite out of our top five. You only get to vote for one scene, so choose wisely.

And without further ado, here's a bit of detail on our contestants and their amazing scenes:

Bedroom - Diroshi Raja


SceneCaster's favorite author created this deceptively simple bedroom scene, which is actually seven interlinked scenes of bedrooms showing all the stages of life. It's like peeling an onion...made of mattresses. 'A' for effort, as well as being the only SC'er to use the link feature....ahem.

Poolhouse - Christina Skov Egede Olsen


If this were a contest for SceneCaster's longest user name Christina would be our hands-down winner. If this were a contest for combining the largest number of colors in one scene: no contest! She's also the most junior member of the winner's circle, having been a SC'er for less than two months, which is as hugely impressive as her name.

Roman Bath - Lesley Bergen


SceneCaster's Queen of Scenes: she's fearless, she's tenacious, her creativity knows no limits. She has published 90+ scenes, trashed countless computers and ignored mountains of laundry to get to this point and she deserves to be compensated! p.s. She's also the only one of the top five who did it without the Scene Spotlight...

Moon Pavilion - Melody Kim


Melody has published the fewest number of scenes of our top five, but each one has been exquisite from the get-go. There was no learning curve for Melody; she took to SceneCaster like Michelangelo took to the brush, like Tiger Woods took to the clubs, like Paris Hilton took to acting...wait a sec...that's no good...should've said Meryl Streep...

Boat Bedroom - Carole Landreau


Carole, absent for all of rounds 1-4, rushes in at the 11th hour of week five and throws down a killer scene that has her uniquely personal, journalistic, 3D diary, "snapshot-of-my-life" kind of spin....complete with a bedroom with a lifeguard...draw your own conclusions...

There you have it - vote wisely, vote soon. We'll announce our winner early next week.
