  Here's a Design that I submitted. It received fractions under 13, so here it is! I'd really appreciate all comments and criticism.

  I think the score is justified, it certainly showed skills but some of those skills are Steve's, You're improving quite fast, I'm sure your next work will win an accolade provided that it contains more ideas of your own.
  
  Congratulations on finishing though.
  
  Keep it up!

  I liked this too, I'd rate it a 13 if I were a panelist. The architecture was nice, nothing too detailed but quaint and very pleasant nevertheless. The layout flowed well all the way, nothing looked quirky. I liked those lamps lining the lift hill.
  
  I can see though why this didn't quite reach all the way; it's still too similar to Fenrir. The cobra roll placement, brakes before the first loop, the station/queue (especially with the waterfall beneath the queue), small dirt/rock piles with dead trees on it... In short it was too obvious where you got your ideas from. I dare say, hadn't fenrir been released prior to this, you'd have your design accolade for sure. And while it's of course not a bad thing to be inspired by other's work, giving it your personal touch is what really earns you respect and accolades. If you keep that in mind for your next project I have no doubts you'll win something.

  Wow I feel sorry for you man! This should have won. You got screwed just because your entrance building was similair to Steve's. That's just unfair.
  
  This design was great, especially from a beginner. The architecture was interesting and good, the layout was gorgeous, the foliage was amazing, every part of it was good enough for design but somehow you just got screwed and I don't understand. I hate to bring up this example (I've brought it up before- no offense Maverix) but I don't understand how a design like Hammerhead could make it but this couldn't.
  
  If I were you, I would still call it a victory in parkmaking, if you know what I mean.

  It still took, what, 46 game years to build? That's time and effort, and just because it looked a LITTLE like Fenrir (not all that much, really), doesn't mean it shouldn't have won.
  
  Nonetheless awesome work, man. I loved it.

  I think Liampie hit the nail on the head, It was very pleasant to look at but maybe was a little to based of steves.
  It didnt stop me from liking it.

  every time i look through it, i'm just constantly reminded of fenrir. it isn't just me either. i gave this a decent score (as far as i remember, tell me if i'm wrong) , but didn't think this deserved design. it definately showed talent, and it was charming to say the least, but the originality was tainted.

  I was really on the fence with this. I don't really see that much of a fenrir connection; only the queue bridge and cobra roll tunnel really look similar to me, and cobra rolls under path aren't exactly new here.
  
  I loved that the layout was a sort of extension to the compact Dark-Knight style beemer layout, but something still felt a little off.
  
  The foliage and archit- huh. now that I'm looking at both overviews the train and terrain cropping are rather similar... but every park has a train, right? And this style of cropping a design has been in for a while. Although actually some of the foliage looks similar as well... but there are only so many trees to work with. Oh, and the steeper-pitched northern-european style roofs. And the brown at path edges.
  
  The main reason I didn't mark this as Design-quality was that it didn't have any standout elements; it came across as very vanilla. I realize now that the reason it came across as vanilla was that I'd seen something done similarly and very well before. The more I look the more similarity I see; these actually seem like they come from sister parks.
  
  I can't speak to how much influence was taken from Fenrir, but the simple fact that it exists means that this design is weaker. Unfortunately I think the panel saw too much of Fenrir in this to front-page it, right or wrong.

  Im pretty sure i voted this pretty highly. Im not bothered about the Fenrir connection and think the ride does enough to stand out on its own. And IMO its miles better than some of the other designs we've had recently. But thats just my opinion.
  
  good work and I hope you dont feel disheartend that it didnt quite make it

  The first, like 5 track pieces look like Fenrir. Just because these parts, the station, and the railroad look like Fenrir does not mean that this shouldn't have won.

  I don't see a fenrir copy at all. I thought the layout was good throughout, supports were good, foliage was good and not sloppy, and the architecture was really nice. I can see how its not spectacular in comparison than some designs released in recent months, but this design by itself was worthy of an accolade in my opinion. I try not to think of other members parks and designs in comparison, but rather how well they executed the project on its own.
  
  I think its safe to say, whatever you finish next will be even better

  That is why they are referring to it. He changed it a lot though.
