Our fifth annual October Orange Contest has finished. This means orange forever for five fine folks:

• 1^st — Versh #214's Orangutan with 12 heart's
• 2^nd (two way tie!) — PPC #3581's Roller Toaster with 7 heart's
• 2^nd (two way tie!) — bob #13's Orange Cat with 7 heart's
• 3^rd (another two way tie!!) — raven1627 #2739's Knifle with 6 heart's
• 3^rd (another two way tie!!) — Buellster #3389's Bearded Orange with 6 heart's

Please all join the nice Orangutan in saying to our winners, "Ook. Oook." Which I imagine means, "Congrats. Great job all!" But I didn't get a chance to ask him before he ran off back to the Library.

My personal heart's to everybody who drew something this year! If you didn't win, better luck next year!

To my own surprise, I just realized this is our fifth anniversary of the October Orange Contest, since the first year we ran it was in 2008.

That's pretty cool.

What would be some good "five" or "fifth" themed things I could incorporate into this note? There are surprisingly few whiskey related outcomes, so I couldn't do something with a fifth of whiskey, but I did find this Bourbon for you!

I could do something with like Cinco de Octubre Naranja, but there aren't any Cinco de Mayo drawings. I did find this sweet Dia De Los Muertos skull, but it doesn't have any orange in it.

This outcome seems oddly appropriate, but not all Scribbls community members may care that it is a US election year.

Oh wait, you probably don't care about any of this, and you probably want to know what in the hell is an October Orange Contest, and how do I enter? Well, fair enough...

How Do I Enter?

Simply draw an outcome that uses the color orange during the month of October and it will be automagically entered in the contest.

How Do I Win?

Well, the community votes, of course! The Scribbls community members who submitted the top five most hearted contest outcomes by October 31^st at 11:59pm GMT-6 will be granted the use of orange forever. We rank the top five excluding previous years' winners, and also individuals can only hold one place at a time. (Sorry, you can't win all of first through fifth place yourself.)

Remember to be a good sport and give your Heart’s to the entries you like, especially if you want other people to heart yours!

Where Can I Check The Standings?

Watch the contest standings page. How are you doing? Are you winning? I hope so.

Good Luck

May your Scribbls be hearty. Now go draw!
