Past contests and their winners
Contest 1: The Fire Emblem Grand Cosplay Contest
The Fire Emblem thread's first contest was a rousing success, with excellent entries all around. Here's hoping that many more cosplay contests can be as great as this one! (Note: The extra gold was donated for use of TWO second-places, and TWO third-places due to lack of entries in the second area of the contest.)
In first place, we have Marth Lowell's Vaida, meaning he wins 3000 gold!
We chose Vaida as first place because it was simply an astounding idea that anyone could do her in the first place
eek . Additionally, the cosplay itself was almost 100% accurate, leaving out only the scar that runs down Vaida's right leg.
Second place entries are awarded 2000 gold
In second place #1, we have Sinistral's Arthur.
<picture deleted, sorry guys>
Arthur is the one on the right. While Sinistral used a female avatar, it was true that the hair fit way too perfectly for words (Those who have played FE 4 will understand). The golden book was a nice addition

In second place #2, we have Hero_Of_Time's Ninian.
This Ninian was extremely well-done. The hair colour wasn't exactly perfect, but it was pretty close, and the dress and other accessories made up Ninian nicely
whee
Third place entries are awarded 1000 gold
In third place #1, we have Evilconquesco's Eliwood.
The red hair and pose are quite nice, and made Lyndis and I reminisce about when Eliwood first starts his journey in Blazing Sword. The cape isn't perfect, but everything else seemed to go nicely

In third place #2, we have Marth Lowell's Lucius
This Lucius was extremely well done! Most traits about him were spot-on, even using the female avatar

Sain: Milady!
Lyndis: Ah....Sain. What is it?
Sain: Do I need reason to speak with you, Lady Lyndis?
Lyndis: Of course not. But there is no need for formalities, Sain. I consider you a close friend. Lyn will be fine.
Sain: Lyn.....Thank you!
Lyndis: It is not a problem.
Sain: It means the world to me. Thanks.
Lyndis: ........
Sain: The look in your eyes....Can it be love?
Lyndis: Sain!
Sain: Urgh.....Such a strong blow....I’m sorry, milady. I overstepped my bounds. I beg your pardon. I must be going now.....
Lyndis: Sain......
B-level:
Lyndis: .......
Sain: Milady?
Lyndis: .......Sain? Is that you?
Sain: Aye. Mila.... I mean, Lyn.... What is troubling you?
Lyndis: It....It’s nothing.....
Sain: Lyn, from our travels, I’ve come to know when something ails you.
Lyndis: .....
Sain: What’s wrong, milady?
Lyndis: It.....it’s Kent.
Sain: Oh....
Lyndis: I had grown quite fond of him and thought he felt the same. But.... It seems he is more interested in someone else......
Sain: ....Fiora....
Lyndis: How did you.....?
Sain: Kent is my comrade. He told me how he felt about her.
Lyndis: Oh.....
Sain: Please, milady, don’t be sad. To see such a pretty face bloched by tears wrenches at my heart. If there is anything I can do to help, will you let me know?
Lyndis: Sain.....
Sain: Come, we have to get back to the fight.
Lyndis: You’re right.... And Sain?
Sain: Hmmm?
Lyndis: Thank you.
Sain: Don’t worry, milady. It is part of my duty as a knight.
A-level:
Lyndis: .....Sain?
Sain: Hmm?
Lyndis: I was thinking about what you said.....
Sain: Which part milady? I’ve said many things to many women and I don’t know specifically what you are talking about.
Lyndis: When you said that you’d do whatever you could to help, what exactly did you have in mind?
Sain: Just as it sounds, milady. I would die to protect you and I live to see you smile. For you have the loveliest smile in all the land.
Lyndis: Sain..... I have this emptyness, now. I thought Kent was the one for me....
Sain: Kent did have feelings for you, Lyn, He confessed how he felt to me and I promised not to get in his way. I can’t, however, just watch as he leaves you in such pain. I guess the heart of a man is a fickle thing. But how he could possibly pass up on a prize such as yourself is beyond me.
Lyndis: Sain..... Could you do me a favor?
Sain: You know I’d do anything for you.
Lyndis: I want you......to stay.
Sain: What?
Lyndis: I trust you. I’ve grown to love you in the wake of what happened. I want you to be mine, and only mine. To love me, and only me. Can you do that for me, Sain?
Sain: You have no idea how long I’ve waited to hear that...... It is a sad day in the world of women. To be exclusive.....For you..... I’d do anything.

"Prince Ephraim!"
"Hello Amelia. Is something troubling you?" Ephraim asked.
"Uh... no. I just wanted to thank you for letting me join your army. You don't mind me being here, do you?"
"Not at all. I'm glad to have your help. It's just..." Ephriam raised his eyebrow.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Amelia looked at herself to see if anything was out of place, "Do I have something on my face?"
"You're still holding your lance like that? You have to move it upward more. Like this." Ephraim showed Amelia how to adjust her fighting stance.
"I see, but Prince Ephraim..."
"You don't have to call me by my title. Call me Ephraim."
"Ok Pri-Ephraim, but I don't know if I can hold my lance like that." Amelia suddenly looked depressed. "General Duessel already showed me how, but..."
"General Duessel taught you how to use a lance, too?" Ephraim pondered, "I shouldn?t be too surprised. You are from Grado after all."
"...Too...?" Amelia's eyes went wide. "You also were taught by General Duessel?"
"It is because of him that my fighting is as good as it is today. Not that I've learned everything there is to know about fighting. I still have much to learn."
"You are still much better at wielding a lance than I am, Prince Ephraim."
"We are both learning more about combat in this war, Amelia. I can assure you of that. The more fighting you do, the more you learn about it."
"Alright. I'll be trying my hardest to learn as much as I can."
"Just don't overdo it out there. If you feel like you are outmatched, we'll all be there to help out."
"I know. I won't overdo it."
"I'm sure if you practice enough, you?ll become a better fighter. One of the best."
"Thank you! Oh... here comes another enemy. Good luck out there, Prince Ephraim!" Amelia runs off to fight the enemy.
"... She called me 'Prince Ephraim' again. I guess old habits die hard."

Support C
Innes: -Singing- ‘...Now that the Spring is in the air. Pretty girls are everywhere. Think of me and I’ll be there...’
Ephraim: -moves forward- Innes...?
Innes: -opens his eyes- What? Oh, you. What is it?
Ephraim: I was passing by, and I just heard someone singing...
Innes: ...
Ephraim: I never knew you could sing so...uh, well.
Innes: You expected any less?
Ephraim: Well...
Innes: Hmph, your ignorance will be your undoing. -leaves-
Ephraim: -Sighs- Our conversations are always so short. Eirika...why do I always listen to you?
Support B
Innes: -Stringing his bow-
Ephraim: Innes!
Innes: Ephraim...
Ephraim: I was thinking about you yesterday night.
Innes: Oh really.
Ephraim: Yes really. I was just wondering, how did you learn to sing so well?
Innes: ...Are you interested?
Ephraim: -shrugs-
Innes: If you have no answer then...
Ephraim: Wait. It was Eirika...
Innes: Eirika? I see...what a persistent woman. ...Wait, is she interested in me?
Ephraim: Huh?
Innes: Forget it. You really are hopeless.
Ephraim: ...So, are you going to answer my question?
Innes: ...I was bored when practicing my bow. So I taught myself to sing.
Ephraim: You’re lying.
Innes: -glaring- Lying? How would you know?
Ephraim: I asked Tana about it, last night.
Innes: You were with Tana...at night...
Ephraim: Don’t take it the wrong way, Innes. Now, she told me that you bugged her to teach you how to sing. Believe me, I nearly died when I heard that you asked for help!
Innes: ...one wish’s that happened...
Ephraim: ...Tell me the truth.
Innes: If you really want to know, a few years back, there was a Bard who came to the castle for a ceremony. His singing was decent enough, I have to say...
Ephraim: ...
Innes: I never really had a taste for singing, it was a waste of my time. Well, during one of his songs, he stumbled over the words!
Ephraim: What happened?
Innes: Tana and I could not help but to laugh. The bard was embarrassed over it, you see. Turning to us, he asked: ‘If you think it easy, why don’t one of you step up and sing?’
Ephraim: ...wasn’t he out of line for saying that?
Innes: ...Doesn’t matter. I quickly got to my feet. ‘Pshaw!’ I said, pointing at him. ‘You will regret your decision.’
Ephraim: So...?
Innes: ...let us just say I was humiliated. In front of everyone. -rolls his eyes- I should have let Tana sing.
Ephraim: Now I see.
Innes: Put two and two together, eh?
Ephraim: So, you took lessons from Tana, so you could re-challenge him?
Innes: Looks like you are not as dense as I thought.
Ephraim: Eirika’s a pretty good singer...maybe I should-
Innes: Singing is useless! But, it helps time to pass by.
Ephraim: Still...
Innes: Are you planing on taking me on?
Ephraim: What? I-
Innes: I will never lose to you. -leaves-
Support A
Innes: Ephraim...
Ephraim: ...what are you snickering about?
Innes: Your performance the other day was horrible. You sang an octave lower than you should have.
Ephraim: Innes! There’s no need to be so blunt!
Innes: Regardless, I think I should be the one to teach you. I wouldn’t want Eirika to suffer.
Ephraim: Not now...though.
Innes: Of course...when this is over.
Ephraim: ...
Innes: -looking him up and down- You. You aren’t as bad as I first thought. I may
come to like you...a little.
Ephraim: Our sisters would be happy.
Innes: Don’t read too much into this relationship. It’s only for your singing. -Puts one hand on Ephraim’s back and the other on his chest-
Ephraim: What are you doing?
Innes: We need to pass some time. What better way then to sing, right? You need to work on your posture, Ephraim. It’s horrifying.
Ephraim: No need to be blunt!
Innes: I will teach you. -snaps fingers- Back straight, chin up, don’t be too stiff! Here let me show you. ...Ephraim? Where are you running off to?Ephraim...EPHRAIM!
