Winners of PokeBeach’s February Community Blog Contest + Prizes!

The winners of PokeBeach’s first community blog contest have been chosen!

Coming in first place is TheUltimateAbsol with his article “Should You Really Buy This? Analyzing the Hype and Prices Behind BREAKpoint!” His article goes into deep analysis of several of the new cards from BREAKpoint, as well as a few tips for determining the current and future prices of newly-released cards. Because of his article’s quality and depth, he has won a free BREAKpoint booster box from TCGplayer.com!

Coming in a close second place was Elliot Sayles with his article “Gonna Raichu an Article!” This article covers many different variants of the Raichu / Crobat deck, discussing the cards he included in each list and the matchups of every variant. He will walk away with 12 BREAKpoint booster packs.

Although we stated we would only give out one booster box to the first place winner, we were able to scrap together several more booster packs for second place. We may do so again in the future if an article exceeds our expectations.

The winning articles were chosen based on objective and subjective factors, such as unique views, community interaction, votes from the article staff, and several other factors that you can find documented in our community blog guide.

Thank you’s also go out to all of our members who submitted community blog entries this month! Our community blog wouldn’t be anything without you, and we thank each of you for your hard work!
