Nendonesia Mail Corner: Autumn Playtime!

Nendonesia has been running for more than a year. As with other stuff in life, running the blog is not as easy as it sounds. Aside from all the good things, we have also experienced some obstacles along the way, such as server’s downtime (which happened several times as of late), as well as lack of articles due to our daily jobs. Every now and then, we even have to deal with our boredom on maintaining the blog.

That’s why, we always feel relieved and refreshed when we know that you, Nendonesian, are still supporting us, as shown with the pic you see above, which is sent to us by Sh3rli. She even made a Nendoroid-sized Nendonesia shirt and an accompanying Nendonesia flag! Awesome! XD

The Nendoroid itself is a mix-match of Nendoroid BRS‘ hair, equipped with Nendoroid Takane Manaka‘s ribbon, Nendoroid Noumi Kudryavka: Summer Uniform version‘s faceplate, as well as Nendoroid Army-san‘s body. Nice combination there! ^^

Firstly we would like to apologize for the delay of the Nendonesia PhotoCon #2‘s finalists announcement. It was initially planned for Monday, and then got pushed into Wednesday (or Thursday on GMT+7).

Well then, the top 10 entries have been chosen out of 77 participating photo entries in the Qualifying Round. For any of you whose entries did not make it into the Final Round … well, don’t let it make you down. You may participate again in our next photocon. ^^

In any case, kindly scroll past the break to view Top 10 Finalists of Nendonesia PhotoCon #2. ^^

Update: Comment section is closed for some reason.
Anyway, for you who feel that some entries do not appear to qualify as finalists, well, we could only say that the photo theme and concept weights much more than technical aspects of the entries. The reason behind this score weighting is related to the camera – which is a mere mobile phone camera, not a full fledged DSLR. That’s it! ^^

First, we want to say thank you for your participation in Nendonesia Photo Contest #2. We have received many entries internationally, despite all of the restriction in the submission. Thank you for your enthusiasm, Nendonesian!! ^^

Anyway, now that we have closed the entry submission period, we are getting into the scoring phase. There will be two rounds to determine the winners: Qualitfying and Final Round.

In the Final Round, we will ask for your help, Nendonesian, to choose the winning photos. We will post the qualifying top 10 entries onto either (or both) our Facebook page and DeviantArt group. There, you will be able to cast your votes (# of likes for Facebook and # of favorites for DeviantArt) for the finalists. The judges will cast their votes to some of the finalists as well. Yes, the final scoring will be determined by the judges and you, Nendonesian. ^^

Well then, I guess that is all about the scoring phase for Nendonesia Photo Contest #2. May the best photos win! ^^
