And the Winner is:

The Best House
As we've been receiving houses, we noticed that the use of wood and references to the 3 little pigs tale have been very very popular amongst our contestants, some even going to the extent of destroying their place mats to get the required materials.
Once again, it was very difficult to find a winner and the fact that Vincent had his word in it has not made it easier. As you can see, he took an active part in the process and we needed a week in Budapest, Hungary to come with a definitive list of winners.
Arriving in the first position in your votes, being nominated in 4 categories and winning 1 Award, this house has impressed us with the quality of its built, the materials used, the additional decoration and the fairy tale it came with. Yes, we believe they do deserve the Golden Crown ...
Mike, Sandy and their Daughters

Congratulations, you shall receive your diploma and  surprise gift very soon.
As a conclusion, we would like to thank you all for participating in this new contest and helping Vincent getting a house on its own. Your participation and enthusiasm is a great reward for the time an energy we invest in organising these contests. Soon we'll be publishing the overview of tickets per participants and sharing with you some more details about what will the Kingdom tickets be used for. Stay tuned.
The final quote from Charles Caleb Colton:
True friendship is like sound health, the value of it is seldom known until it is lost
or as summarized by Princess Aneta whenever Vincent or I go a bit crazy:
Everybody's healthy !?
