Scoresies!
While I only got a couple of entries, I'm not whining at all, made the judging a lot easier anyways
Speaking of which.... I have...
SCORESIES!
Here is the spreadsheet of the scores. You can see total scores, as well as individual judge's scores. The scores have also been categorized, so you can easily see when you got the most points and so on. And green, there just has to be green, cause I was too lazy to edit pics of bushes in.
One big link that you need to click to see the scores!
Notes about scores
The scores on the totals table have been averaged from the individual judges tables, and rounded up to one decimal.
I do have a great sad I had to take of points from nearly all entries for not uploading the pictures to this thread as asked. Maybe you missed the rule, or it was unclear. But I poked about it after I noticed some people had done so, and since you didn't edit your entries in time to attach the pictures, the scores hold. But it would have been a lot more even competition if you had done so... :/

Code:
Formula for pics scores 10 points minus 3 points (front,back,floorplan(s)) minus exceeding amount of allowed inline images
I have also asked judges to write little comments on each entry, so here they are:
Comments for Villa Omorfi
Your hotel looks like a really fun place to spend a holiday in! You also put a lot of thought and effort on your description. Some of the pictures are very small, so I had to really squint my eyes to see better. But all in all your entry is very nice!
I must say that I liked your idea. I love your lot poster, it sure gave a good advertisement of your lot. With the country side and the sea, thats a sure bet for family vacation.You sure did give a vivid description of your lot and that was encouraging.Though your images were good, taking images that shows your work closer but not from a fad distance would be good for a next time.
There was clearly a lot of effort put into the lot conceptually, it's planned out well and everything seems purposeful. The description is the most detailed of all the entrants. It’s clear that the terrain painting and sculpting is purposeful, but the execution is a bit amateurish. I admire the use of CFE and the use of the Fog Emitters- although it isn't grand and spectacular; it is very good for someone who is new to the concept. It's a little hard to see just -what Sims might experience! The photos of amenities are mostly from top-down angles and quite a bit small. All and all, it's a very good effort.

Comments for The Spanish Steps
Looks like you put a lot of effort on your ad picture, great! The lot is in general very well executed, though I wonder how a family of sims would spend their holiday in there, as it seems more of a place to go just for a day or a couple of hours. Very nice work with the fountains!
I love your creative idea. The park and the hotel looked wonderful. I had expected to see more of the terrain editing in the park. Regardless you had 2 beautiful entries.Your two information poster that advertised your lots are just spectacular. I love and love both. I love the garden in the hotel.
Although there is very little text description and the terrain is mostly flat, this lot if just straight up pretty. There's a lot of drab gray, but the focal points are all just gorgeous. I -love- the hanging garden over the bistro tables. It's clearly meant to go in the middle of a city, but it is stuffed with multi-color plants. It seems as though a visit to the Spanish Steps would be a pretty short one- It's not a place you'd sleep overnight, but it does look like a destination to visit whilst on vacation.

Comments for Fredvang Resort
Again a very nice ad picture! This entry is a lot more suitable for a place to spend a holiday in - I can see sims having fun in there for weeks if they just want so. All in all a nicely made lot, with lots of little details.

Again there's little text description and a small pockets of beauty surrounded by drab gray. It seems cozy- but at the same time has quite a bit of luxury like the in-pool bar, the fountains and the sitting areas. What it lacks in cfe tricks, it makes up for in pockets of prettiness. It makes some damn fine photos, and that is a pretty good tourist draw.

Comments for Mistlemire Hall
Wow, you really went big! This is a great place for sims to spend a holiday in. The lot is also very well presented, and you read the rules about the post too! There is so much to see, I'm sure the sims will be thrilled to spend their holiday on your lot.
Your mansion looks WOW and I had expected to see a very good advertisement poster. You have a great introduction with the under letter, if those were in colour rather than the black and white, it would have been awesome. I must say, I love your landscaping, although I had expected to see more of terrain painting there.The interior is just wonderful. While I enjoyed this, I was a bit confused to which category of the theme your lot falls into. Despite that you did a great job.
WOW. It's such an impressive structure and the heavy use of CAST and CFE is refreshing. (Although the interior is a tad monotone.) The ad concept is great (a letter written to a good friend along with black and white photographs? that seems pretty compelling to me.) I really appreciate that objects are placed off-grid and that rugs are skewed just so. It looks much more natural, although it is a little haphazard for a lush estate. The staff seems to be a bit lazy in that respect But all and all, it's enormous, well planned, well executed, and just all around grand.

Comments for Roadside Kitsch Stop
I know you had to rush with your post, otherwise you would have probably scored a lot higher. The lot is beautiful, and so full of fun things for sims. You have put a lot effort in the build, layout and landscaping. Good job!
What can I say, Firstly your advert image is gorgeous. I love the whole concept of your Kitsch stop and your advert slogan will surly bring visitors in. I love Your terrain painting combined with its landscaping. Its just too extra beautiful.
This place is abso-freaking-louty adorable. Out of all the entries, it's the place I'd most want to visit. I'm sad that I had to remove points for not having the photos uploaded to the thread itself. There's so much detail in the sculpting, painting, CFE and for emitters. It's not the most grand or elaborate adventurous vacation spot, but it's not meant to be. It's that rest stop on the highway you can't help but stop to explore. Butterflies, fireflies, lobsters, pigeons, a giant rusted out dinosaur, a giant lumberjack and some pretty places to lounge by the lake- I'm sold.

General notes from judges
Great job with your entries everyone!
I must say everyone did a very good job. Apart from the essence of a good contest, this was also a test on following instructions. I know that sometimes we get a bit confused about certain things, but it would not hurt to ask about it. Thank you all for participating and it was an honour and a privilege in judging your entries.
I am really sad I had to remove points from all the entries except Mistlemire Hall for not uploading the photos to the thread itself. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be The Roadside Kitsch Stop all the way.

And here is the WINNER!
Who won + my greetings
I want to congratulate cutsocks for winning this contest!
Please poke me by my name/nick in the chat for your prize once you know what you want me to make for you. I am online practically 24/7, though I do sleep at times.
I will see if you have beeped me by nick/name, and will get back to you as soon as I see the message. But I prefer the chat over site PM's, as it is so much easier to discuss stuff real time.

Thanks once again for everyone!
Happy simming,
