Any word on when they will announce the winners?
In the rules it said winners would be contacted within a week of the close of the contest. So by Friday this week.
Funny, when I looked through the entries I saw your paints, then earlier this week I saw you in a lobby I was in.
I was surprised there weren’t more entries than there were. Even if you searched both of the different phrases they said to tag the entry with. The official rules listed something different than the article announcing the contest. I think there were about 20 tagged based on the official rules and maybe 50 ish total.
One of my designs hadn’t been downloaded at all yet when I looked through my paints last night. One of them had several downloads and usages. Based on the one with nothing it would seem like they haven’t gone through and judged them all yet.
Several typos in the rules page so i wasn’t certain. Not a lot of entries so judging should be pretty quick i would think.
My other good design had a download as of last night so it is possible they looked at it for judging. My third design was unquestionably worse (because it was very similar yet not as good, kind of idea building) as the first design that already had a bunch of usages. That still didn’t have any downloads but I could see them skipping it given that it is obviously not as good even without downloading it. Either way, something should be announced at least by tomorrow. Although, there was one point in the rules that said something about something being a month from October 2. So, maybe we’ll see something today. I don’t know what articles come out at what time on what days but assume they will list the winners in the rear view mirror or week in review or something like that. They had the twitter give away going too, I think you could retweet their thing daily. I only did it once. I don’t like to spam my followers. I don’t have many, I don’t’ want to drive them away, LOL.
Is there a thread somewhere that displays the entries? Or a photo gallery of the finalists? Would love to check some of this awesomeness out!
Get in a ZL1 in the game and search for description Hot Wheels Livery Contest and Hot Wheels Forza Livery and you will see all the submissions. The official rules said to use the first one of those and the article announcing the contest said to use the other. Those that were really paying attention used both. Only 20 entries used the official rules description. There weren’t a ton either way though and I don’t recall seeing many if any of the big name painters of the forum community
Well, they said winners would be announced within a week. But there was nothing in the Week in Review. So it’s about par for the FM5 livery judging course. They’ve been pretty slow to judge those too. You would have thought an official contest with real prizes would have gotten a little more prompt attention.
Since the official rules appear to have not really been official at all, is there a way to get an official word on plans to announce the winners of this?
As with all contests that Microsoft sponsor, you may contact them directly with a written request delivered to:

Sweet, I’m on my way to the post office to buy a stamp right now!
That’s the spirit. Don’t forget to give the letter a spritz of your best cologne/perfume.
So has turn 10 announced the winner yet its been long enough now ,or cant they be bothered to choose one . I haven’t heard a thing about contest since it was released and they still have it on there main page on website. It seems to me that turn 10 has given up with forza 5 no new carpacks and no new rivals whats going on with this game
I tried googling for something on the winners of this and found nothing even doing that. The day the contest was supposed to close they said it could still be entered until midnight on the week in review that day. That was October 3. Even my worst design has one download, so I assume they have looked at all designs at least by now.
Has anyone been contacted directly telling them they were a winner? They certainly have made no public announcement.
Because FH2 was one of the prizes for not only the winner but also the 9 runners up they said would be awarded I’ve been holding off on buying it. At this point I’m not buying it until it is on sale cheap even if I don’t win it in this contest.
Another Week in Review goes by with no winners.
So what are the chances they announce the winners for this in the Week in Review tomorrow? Or are they just going to leave the people that participated in this hanging. Pretty lame. Of all the things Turn 10 has done that annoy me, announcing this contest and then never selecting winners takes the cake.
Glad I didnt take the time to finish the livery I was working on for the contest. I would have traded FH2 right away most likely. Why would a prize be FH2 anyways, there is already a lack of racers in lobbies. Anyone know who pays out prizes ? If it’s T10 they should have some petty cash lying around somewhere. Just another reason why Forza feels dead.
Horizon 2 as the prize for a contest that ended after the game had been out for a week did seem a bit odd. It also played a role in me not buying it and now I’m not buying it out of spite. With each passing week with no winners announced my hope that project cars crushes Forza increases. They have time to judge all these other contests but going on a month after this contest ended we still gave no winners, it is BS
I got bored of FH2 after a week of playing it. Won’t bother playing it again either, I’m back on FM5! And painting!
I intended to enter and put up my unfinished design. I had all the base done I didn’t have time to add the feature details. if its correct and there were only a small number of entries its possible T10 will stay dark on the matter to spare blushes all round.
