    First of all, thank you Miriam for sponsoring a place where so many people are able to showcase their talents. It is absolutely mind boggling to think of the hours, weeks, months and LOVE that went into each creation. There are so many talented and creative folks out there who have been able to showcase their villages thanks to you! I enjoyed every minute of the video.

    Totally awesome, everyone should be so proud of their villages. You can see all the hard work they put in them. I loved watching how each and everyone was so unique and seeing the world in there eyes. Each one was a winner in my book.

    I am humbled and in awe of all the talent and imagination shown in every entry. Thank you Miriam for all of your hard work (and hubby too!). Thank you judges! It's looks like you are really going to have to nitpick not to have about 30 1st place winners! I have about 10 favorites. Merry Christmas everyone and now relax and enjoy your creations - that's the real point of all of this!!

    Wow just wow!!
    These are just incredible! The Styrofoam stone/brickwork on some of these are just amazing.
    There are a few that are not only massive but also gorgeous! I am so jealous of the space you have!!!
    And the smaller ones have such great details!
    I loved #1 Polar Express theme! I saw it in the Artistry category and was wowed but you got to see even more of it in this one!
    Great job everyone!! I have so many new ideas now! Love this community ❤️

    Extraordinaire is definitely the correct descripitve word for this category!! These entries are amazing I don't know how the judges will be able to choose. Cudos to the judges because this is quite an undertaking. To all of the contestants I am in awe of your creations and you are all winners. It is evident that this is a hobby you love and enjoy!! Miriam thanks again for providing a platform for other villagers to showcase their talent!! Merry Christmas everyone!!💖💖🌲

While watching everyone's videos, I just kept thinking "Why didn't I think of this" or "Why didn't I do that!" Absolutely beautiful work on all villages and I wish all contestants Good Luck with their submissions. They are all truly Villages Extraordinare. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! Miriam, thank you for all you do. You have truly brought out my inner creativity. It takes a special person to be able to do that. You are a true inspiration.

    Well done to everyone across all 3 categories - a stellar job from everyone 👍
    For me, some of the best villages were the smaller ones, need to be more creative to get it all in without looking crowded etc, but wow what i wouldn't give to have that amount space to put a village in 🤣.
    Great job to you too Miriam, it's not a 5 minute thing to put videos together, especially at this time of the year when everyone is so busy, so thank you for doing that whilst we are all binging on Christmas movies lol.

      Hello, I’m not sure about that because I’m not even the one who is tallying the scores this year. One of my judges is handling all of that. It would be a lot to ask after the hours spent with judging. I will discuss it with my judges panel and get back with you guys.
