I do not agree MrHenryDog, if, like you said, it techincally broke the rules, it should have been disqualified. Stop.

The point is that, and anyone can't hide this, this cover that should have been disq. instead turned out to be a big hitter for votes !! And this is not fair!

This competition put very strict rules on us (like covers exclusivity) and now I see no point to keep following the rules if some main ones have been clearly broken...

Finally, we cannot hide that this competition was also requesting a lot of efforts because of the "subjects", but allowing such a popular title like that is like say already who has to win and who has not.

BTW "The Mummy" is a magical creature? ;)

We accepted the cover in good faith but we also understand the comments raised.

I do not believe that the entrant should be eliminated, he conducted a search and got no return but I can also see that a search could have been better conducted.

The option I can only see is to suspend the contest for 4 days to allow the entrant to submit a new cover. This would have to be agreed of course but I would like to see a fair solution which I'm sure any of you would appreciate if you were the entrant being challenged.

As far as the Mummy is concerned that is OK imo, the story concerns curse given by a sorceress - which is a witch/wizard. The theme of this round was deliberate to allow a wide spectrum of choice.

"Rick and Alex O'Connell unearth the mummy of the first Emperor of Qin -- a shape-shifting entity who was cursed by a wizard centuries ago"


thinking outside the box IMO

to quote "Our subject this round will have a magic theme so, any movie that is based around magic or magical creatures"

Angel heart is all about Black Magic so how can you say that its not in the theme of what was asked?

Normally I am not one to complain about such trival things but i have to put my two cents in on this issue. First off I just want to say that covers #5 and #12 are both excellent works but I think that it sucks that the only two covers that are in violation of the rules are both winning in their respective groups. I wanted to do a custom for "Nasfuratu" but was told vampires are not a magical creature, which was cool, but somehow mummies are? I don't know? Anyway, great work by all. Some really amazing covers in both groups.

Its a supernatural thriller involving black magic and voodoo among other things.

@Maestreaux

It's not the mummy itself that qualifies it but other elements in the story.
