Was the swearbear contest winner ever announced, and if so, was it Shmorky of SomethingAwful fame?
Asking for a friend.

I'm relying on my memory and stuff you probably already looked up. Please correct me if I'm wrong somebody!
I think there wasn't a single winner, like the top 5 entries won a swearbear toy and NotShmorky was one of them
Thanks; I had the assets for contest submissions on my harddrive one time.
They had a theme song too; it was basically some lowkey internet version of the 80s Gummy bear cartoon intro. Mostly the lyrics. I just assumed they were gonna go onto bigger things like a tv show, and thought about this the other day

Can you weigh in or is this too far back to remember?

I'm having a hard time remembering for sure but I think it was a movie by Shmorky that no longer exists, I can't even find it as an unpublished project which implies Shmorky unpublished and deleted the project as some point. It was a cut above the rest so it would have been the likely winner.

I found this searching the still-published submissions. Must've been next year's entry.
At least one Swearbear flash of theirs survived.

Ahhhh... I forgot that it was rated A, it was filtered out when I was looking at Shmorky's page.
