Hello everyone!

After a few weeks hard at work rating, we are ready to announce the winners of the second Feedback Frenzy (with some bonus prizes)!

It's easy to write a lot of comments, but it's difficult to write a lot of phenomenal comments! In scoring, we focused on both quality and quantity of critiques. In other words, we considered how well something was written in addition to the number of critiques the person wrote. It was a super close competition, with a number of deviants vying for the top spots but after careful deliberation we have determined the cream of the crop!

First though, a HUGE round of applause to ALL of our participants! You guys wrote 460 wonderful comments and made sure that every single deviation submitted was critiqued! It was a great turnout and it would never have been this awesome without your hard work! So give yourselves a pat on the back, you certainly deserve it!

Without further ado - presenting the best of #FeedbackFrenzy 02!


A huge congratulations to our number one contestant! The admins unanimously agreed on the fantastic quality of the feedback given by `justMANGO and are pleased to name them winner of FF02! Always educational and in-depth, exceptionally helpful, beautifully written, and totally inspirational, these were easily some of the best critiques we've seen!
