Seriously guys? You put us through HELL. How the heck are we supposed to decide who the winner of the Screenshot contest is when there is just so many amazing submissions?
After the four sleepless nights of deliberation we've exited our jury chamber, holding laminated prints and all, smelling like week old tacos, and stepped into the sunlight with our decision.
Was it a just decision? No, it was the only possible outcome. It seemed so simple now.
Everyone who contributed to the screenshot contest gets a screenshot contest cape!
Here are a random smattering of ones we really liked, just so you can feel even more special. You jerks.
My vain attempt at turning Steam Announcement page into tumblr is almost working, so yeah, follow, or like, or upvote, or god forbid, G PLUS this post to your friends or whatever it is that you do on the interblogs. You can check out the rest of the images here: http://blade-symphony.com/screenshot-contest/april-2014/sort:popular?page=1 sorted from most popular kids to least popular kids.

We've got a patch for you waiting on Steam. Lots of game balance and other changes requested by the community made it into this version, so thank you for helping make the game better!
Game Balance
Increased grab damage from 20 to 25 to make up for the buffed wakeup time from last patch
Reduced shuffle cancel time from 0.3 to 0.22 to prevent "shuffle jump" exploit
Made jumping velocity take a penalty during hit-stun so jumping isn't as good of a way to get out of bad situations (currently velocity is halved)
Recovery attack now given extra warmup frames to prevent insta-punishing T3 knockdowns
Reduced air hitstun animation movement duration from 0.2s to 0.1s so that gravity takes over even sooner, making opponents land earlier when 'juggled'
Pure
New Balanced Right T3
Increased tracers for B3T1
Swapped B1T2 with B1T3
Fast Left T1 damage reduced from 17 to 12
Fast Right T1 damage reduced from 24 to 18, T2 damage from 27 to 24, and T3 damage from 29 to 26
New voice-over work for several Balanced and Heavy moves
Re-timed the SFX for her new attacks
New ledge grab animation
Pure's new Balanced Right Tier 3
Phalanx
Replaced Air 1 with a new attack animation
Animation
Updated throwing star animation
Added sfx to throw star animation
Bug Fixes
Fixed several bugs and exploits related to string counter (resetting strings via canceling, etc)
Fixed a prediction error that happens when side canceling into another stance
Fixed a bug where foil was not able to deal damage for the first 10 seconds of a map
Fixed potential heap corruption issues in server
Fixed some potential crashes
Fixed disconnect confirmation not closing itself when game starts with +map in launch properties
Fixed highgpu override being ignored when sm3 was not detected
Rebuilt game engine libraries with fixes to Source Engine
Joystick
Added binding translations for controller
Workshop
Added workshop item editing
Fixed some issues when reloading / editing shared resources between multiple items by completely ignoring all mounted VPKs in edit mode
Added workshop file overview panel
Misc
Added a bb_lookat_enabled to enable or disable head turning for screenshots
Added bb_cam_thirdperson_x_offset and bb_cam_thirdperson_y_offset to offset the camera for taking screenshots
Made some animations not turn their heads (eg rolls)
Added text coloring to sword details menu
Added some workshop localization for client-side mods
