Please join us in congratulating the winner of the Business Executive Human Avatar Contest - .

Rather than going with five runner-ups, we decided to choose another seven avatars to use in the feature as well. The avatars above were designed by , , , , , , and , in respective order.

The grand prize of 250 CSC will remain the same and each of the seven others will receive a prize of 100 CSC.

Congrats to all the winners! ❤ I guess I will nvr win HA contests, your taste is so different from what I really like

April 5, 2015, 10:28 am by

Lol my female HA entry was too! I loved doing the contest, but I realize now I did use a couple of the same items many others did apparently.

April 5, 2015, 10:18 am by

You are my spirit animal.

April 5, 2015, 10:15 am by

Congrats to all the winners! :)

If anything, I'm just embarrassed that one of my entries was also wearing that skirt. The shame!

April 5, 2015, 9:50 am by

Congrats to the winners But like all of them are wearing like the same clothes... But I think Shou did an amazing job! Keep up the good work subeta staff

Yawn.

April 5, 2015, 9:36 am by

Now, my second thought on this is that infamous hat comic...

April 5, 2015, 9:29 am by

I usually don't say anything bad, but I can't right now. Wow. Zero excuses to choose two avatars with the same top AND skirt. Is this a 50 Shades of Grey thing? It's okay to wear colors other than black. Just saying. xD

April 5, 2015, 9:26 am by

All of these are fabulous! But I do have to agree with a lot with what other people are posting...

April 5, 2015, 8:47 am by

Out of 850 entries, you couldn't pick 10 that weren't exactly the same in places ._.? I didn't enter but I'd find it insulting that all the other entries were rejected in favour of identical outfits...

April 5, 2015, 8:26 am by

Congratulations to the winners. I enjoyed looking at everyone's entries. I loved seeing many people of color in the entries. I made my male entry a man of African decent. I also made one of my entries a woman approaching retirement age. I enjoyed seeing that others had did that. Perhaps different staff picked their winners is why two of the are avatars are dressed alike. I do not know if popularity plays any part. I did notice some of the entries posts had all kinds of likes on their posts, but could that not be that they had great entries? I wanted to win this really bad, but I did not. I will not be bitter and I will enter every time they have a contest like this because I just love it. It is like playing paper dolls to me. I usually do not post so long a post in the news, but I do not like to see division amongst us. Again congratulations to the winners. To all the participants. You did well. I loved seeing all the entries. <3

the comments here echo everything i was thinking as soon as i saw this post. lel.

April 5, 2015, 8:18 am by

is the 2nd last outfit your? this is how i understood, but i may be a bit slow. if i'm right, that's the one i like best <3 congrats for being chosen among the winners ^-^

April 5, 2015, 7:57 am by

Congrats to the winners!

April 5, 2015, 7:17 am by

I'd echo the others with concerns over the lack of variety in the winner choice. BUT the individual competitors did well here and I particularly love Shou's and Tintinnabulator's entries

April 5, 2015, 6:37 am by

Congrats to the winners ❤

April 5, 2015, 6:14 am by

Congratulations to all of you. :)

April 5, 2015, 5:35 am by

Congrats to all the winners, well deserved imo :* Can't wait to see what this contest has been about!

April 5, 2015, 5:09 am by

Some of them are nice... but the most are a "lil" plain

April 5, 2015, 5:04 am by

echoing everyone else that i'm really disappointed with the lack of variety given the amount of entries. and tbh, i'm not just talking about the outfits either

April 5, 2015, 4:53 am by

I like them. I do not get the controversy at all. But then again i am european and not so 'racist' sensitative. This is how most people who work in big companies look like. Yes it is a mix of black, navy and beige. People look a like out there. Guys always wear suits, seriously you didn't notice? Or am i the only one with an office job?

April 5, 2015, 4:36 am by

Everyone looks so damn good :O

April 5, 2015, 4:19 am by

congratulations to the winners!! i love the one by Shou, he looks super cute (:

April 5, 2015, 4:17 am by

Congrats to the winners, that is surely a very nice Easter surprise to wake up to! ^-^ They all look very business like. Like I imagine a conservative business type to be. I didnÂ´t expect that you had an exact scheme in mind, color-like and style-like. I did a research before creating and found out that nowadays, especially in creative professions, a more varied style is common. So I am a little bit astonished that Subeta goes all the classy and monochrome way without much variety. ThatÂ´s the difference between team and us, they know for what profession the HA will stand in the end, we not. :-)

April 5, 2015, 4:05 am by

Why is it considered complaining when we make a comment about 2 of the outfits being EXACTLY the same, out of 850. I would say that is a valid thing to discuss here. Can we not discuss here?? Right under the pictures of the 2 identical outfits?

April 5, 2015, 3:58 am by

tbh it would make the staff -- who are running a social business on the internet -- way more petulant than anyone complaining if they refused to have any more site events just because sometimes people are mean online. If you add contests and relative anonymity together, you're going to get complaining. Is some of it unnecessarily mean-spirited? Yes. But shutting down parts of the site because of that would honestly be hilariously immature. And I have a higher opinion of the staff than that.

April 5, 2015, 3:44 am by

90% of the comments are just upright rude. Not only towards the Subeta team, but also towards the winners. I can't believe how much crap I read in the comments below and how many of them were just filled with pointless whining and jealousy. It makes me sick, really. Feels like kindergarten all the way. Honestly, if I were part of the Subeta team, I wouldn't want to host another one of these events or do ANYTHING like that for the users ever again. Man, I feel SO bad for the team right now. They do a lot of things for us, but just a small portion of the userbase seems to really appreciate it.

April 5, 2015, 3:41 am by

Ha Ha! Of course everyone considers their complaint to be "constructive criticism".... Seriously, very nice business exec HAs congrats to the winners! I knew mine was too far out when I made it, but she was to fun not to enter.

April 5, 2015, 3:30 am by

exactly, what everyone is? why is half of these almost the same? its a little silly? I would prefer colour for business outfits... would have been nice

but whatever I guess admins have no tastes lol congrats winners....

April 5, 2015, 2:42 am by

Wow...

April 5, 2015, 2:40 am by

April 5, 2015, 2:38 am by

I can't believe the amount of complaining in here...

April 5, 2015, 2:34 am by

Congrats :)

April 5, 2015, 2:32 am by

two of the girls have exactly the same outfit on? I think this shows the lack of formal business attire on the site and a bit of a lack of creativity with the feature - business attire can be much more interesting than this!

April 5, 2015, 2:27 am by

congratulations to all the winners! these are all absolutely stunning. my personal favorite is â€” just superb! * v *

April 5, 2015, 2:13 am by

The only one i like is the girl with clutch, everyone else is just plain blah. Why was it not specified that it 'blur and blend into the walls' attire? Srsly with the phenomenal diversity in female wears on site and just as lacking for male wears its highly ironic that two of the female winners are wearing the exact same outfit XD

April 5, 2015, 2:00 am by

Well, three almost exactly the same and then men in ties and suits. I see nothing unique here. I really would like to know how they were judged, because if there were 850 entries, then why is this sameness the result? Truly curious here.

April 5, 2015, 12:39 am by

*they

April 5, 2015, 12:38 am by

Too many sour grapes. The winners followed the brief which is why the won. Congratulations! :)

April 5, 2015, 12:27 am by

I don't really see anything wrong with them. This is what I think when I think "business attire." A lot of black, gray and navy blue. Mind you, I don't work in the corporate world and I'm very thankful, so maybe I'm just perpetuating a stereotype. shrugs 's is my favorite, but I like them all. Congrats to all the winners!

April 5, 2015, 12:21 am by

Future suggestion: If you guys are looking for a color scheme, put it in the guidelines too.

April 5, 2015, 12:16 am by

Want to clarify that none of these are bad HAs individually and their creators didn't do a bad job. Like Heroine said earlier, "Don't get me wrong, the winners all have great outfits, but the overall selection is way too bland considering how colourful and unique some of the entries I saw were."

April 5, 2015, 12:15 am by

Congrats to the winners!

I gotta say i do agree with the commentary below tho. Like, I work in a big ass international law firm, and unless there is a v.v.v.v. Important meeting everyone just rocks the dress/pants and blouse+blazer/cardigan look. In many colors. It just seems a bit...bland.

April 5, 2015, 12:11 am by

Hello, thank you! :) I really wasn't expecting to win lol (I was hoping for my other entry to make it) so it was a pleasant surprise.

April 5, 2015, 12:03 am by

Just so you guys know, it's not April 1st anymore

April 5, 2015, 12:01 am by

I saw that Bill-HA on the thread and nearly choked because I was trying to drink water and laugh at the same time. Beautifully done.

April 4, 2015, 11:56 pm by

(I'm done now I promise)

April 4, 2015, 11:46 pm by

Yup, unfortunately boring white males pretty much still rule the world. I saw the revolution (all of them, in the 60's) pushing for change and I actually thought that by now (I'm nearly 60) things would have changed a LOT more, but everywhere I look white men are still ruling the world. Check out most movies: written by men, directed by men, acted by men, scored by men. EVEN there, in the creative world (most creative worlds: popular books, art, music) the main thing we see are men, usually white men. I wonder if that will EVER change. It's somewhat better. When I was a kid, if your mother had a job outside the home you--and your family--were to be avoided. It was "unseemly" and a threat to all that was "holy" in our culture. Then the 60's tried to set people sideways and for awhile it looked as if things were going to change, and it DID for a bit. I have to watch what I say, cause I have a tendency to say things that are political and controversial. So, I should go back to bed now.
