July 31st was the last day when entries were accepted for the [url=/mia_lernu/konkursoj/centmil]contest celebrating 100,000 lernu! users[/url]. We have finally finished organizing the entries, and Jev has put them online. The complete list can be viewed on [url=/mia_lernu/konkursoj/centmil/rezulto.php]this page[/url]. We ask all users, especially those who participated in the contest, to check the entries carefully to ensure that everything is working properly and that all contributions are visible. If you sent a contribution and it is missing in the list, please let us know, so that we can add it. After the list has been checked (and fixed, as necessary), we will open up the competition for voting.

I hope you will take a close look at all of the entries, because your fellow lernu users spent a lot of time to make them!

The vocaloid one gets my vote, although it's hard to follow the spoken Esperanto in it

ceigered:The vocaloid one gets my vote, although it's hard to follow the spoken Esperanto in it

Which is that?

13. Filmeto (direct link to the youtube video).

I actually just realised that voting hasn't already happened yet, so, this actually does get my vote as opposed to the phrase "this gets my vote = I like this".

15. Bildo is cool too, but the Ču makes me torn inside, and 42 is also cool, but once again, privacy concerns tear me up inside too. 38/39 confuse me about what the purple person is with their symbolic language but otherwise are very effective at getting the point across.

48, now that's sorta groovy. Ok, perhaps 13's in for competition for me

For ones like 15, is it possible in this brief amount of time to go to the creators and go, "hey, your hat's around the wrong way on the C, mind if we flip it/can you flip it so it's standard Esperanto, or would you like it to stay as is for whatever reason?"? While the ˇis a minor thing, I reckon it could make it just that little bit too controversial to give the entry its full potential. (1 might have a spelling/grammar error too if I read "Mi ne kredi" correctly, and the snazzy looking 11 makes me think there's a rogue "t" (konektu't al la futuro), and it's a pity if good entries have minor errors or confusing elements that may detract from their effectiveness).

(And how many "voĉdonaj elektoj" do we get too?)

Good to see so much creativity for the sake of one site (well, and a computer or two)

I tried to think of some kind of ad for Esperanto, but failed to come up with an idea I liked enough. The only idea I had was, "Not a member of StromFront? Then you might like Esperanto."



Looking at the wonderful entries though, it would have been a waste of time.

My favourites were 2, 10, 26, 29. It would be hard for me to pick one from those. I hope each of us could pick the top 3 for example.

Leke:"Not a member of StromFront? Then you might like Esperanto."

Alternatively, "Not the guy who did StromFront's name, banners, and general image? Then you might be who we need for advertising!"
(seriously, the whole name, the font, the imagery of thunder striking the hills, are they trying to make whites look like degenerate warmongers, or electromagnetic entities? Then again, those who can stand it enough to use the site probably are brave or fit the stereotype... It makes Lernu! look like a kindergarten)
