Winter God Creation Contest Winners!

We are happy to announce the winners of our Winter God Creation Contest!

There has been a high number of submissions and we couldn't be more excited! It has been a tough week of judging and we are finally ready to reveal the winners. Before moving on, we would like to say that we greatly enjoyed reading your creative concepts, they could be a true source of inspiration even for the Hi-Rez team themselves!

Grand Prize Winner (1500 SMITE GEMS) Congratulations to our grand prize winner, Stuke99, the author of Marzanna, the best concept of the contest! They will receive 1500 SMITE Gems and the special Winter God badge. Hooray! Some notable facts about Marzanna: Really well rounded creation, surpassing every judging criteria. Slavic melee assassin that specializes in dealing physical damage over time. The skill set conveys the vision of a slow death by applying stacks of Severe Chill, slowing and chasing enemies down. The artwork created for the character skins and icons definitely took a lot of effort and it gave a final touch to make the God feel complete. The lore, personification and voice lines helped to easily visualize the personality of this God.

Honorable Mentions (800 SMITE GEMS)Congratulations to our honorable mentions! They will receive 800 SMITE Gems and the special Winter Demigod Badge for their wonderful God concepts! The concepts have been alphabetically ordered, make sure to check them out below. :) AtomicPie525 - Boreas, the North Wind Greek ranged guardian that excels at hindering enemy movement and aiding allied movement, thanks to his abilities that fit well to his wind mythos. Unique concept of controlling allied and enemy movement using Chilling Winds and Wrath of The North Wind. Fun! Interesting mechanic of dealing damage based on basic attack range. Extra effort into balancing abilities and relating them to other existing abilities. Special notes written to describe each ability to better understand the play style. View Boreas redmist456 - Ceres, the Goddess of The Harvest Interesting connection to the contest theme, covering the side of winter when the harvest is at an end, bringing starvation due to scarcity. Kit offers the possibility to heal friends and foes while also "harvesting" enemies who are being healed. Imagine getting healed by your enemy just so they can leech your freshly healed life, how crazy is that?! Beautiful artwork and clean formatting. Greatly improved the readability of the concept. Well developed lore, voice lines and funny jokes to better personify the God. Author notes that describe the play style of the God and when she thrives or crumbles. View Ceres Timz19 - Chione, the Goddess of Snow Greek ranged mage that deals magical damage using the power of snow. Chione needs to be aware of her surroundings at all times, as her passive ability generates Piles o’ Snow when standing still that she can use to slow enemies and empower her frosty arsenal. Added the joy of winter, snowballs and snowmen very well into the God's kit, voice lines and art, making it a fun and unique concept. Considerable effort poured into creating concept art and four different themed skins. Beautiful! Witty general and ability voice lines, taunts and jokes. View Chione xmysterionz - Yamer, the Frost Knight Created a new lore and pantheon from scratch, Mystirian. It's clear that a lot of passion and effort were put into writing everything! Melee warrior that is all about surviving in the front line while disabling and weakening his enemies. Nice and synergistic kit that revolves around staying in battle as long as possible while managing your passive. Comprehensive explanation on everything we could ask for: lore, personal vision, play style and voice lines. Provided information such as base stats, protections and even a build that would best suit the God! View Yamer BlueV3lvet - Yuki Onna, the Snowfall Hag Japanese ranged mage that charms her enemies before bringing them to death with her coldness. Unique passive that turns slain enemy Gods into ice sculptures that can be used to boost her ultimate and damage nearby enemies. Snowfall ability mechanic that absorbs health out of minions and mana out of enemy Gods affected. Good flavor on the ultimate, combining both the beauty and wrath of the Snowfall Hag. Skill order and item build for convenient theory crafting. View Yuki Onna
