Great idea, Marjan!
Are fairy helpmates allowed?

Thanks, Mario! The idea (as well as readiness to work for it) came from Kenneth.
As you may see in the Calendar, the contest was planned for "orthodox helpmates", but a fairy h# may be posted on 24th too, out of the contest.

Many thanks, Marjan. Glad to hear that tha idea came from Kenneth and therefore our thanks go to him as well!
I hadn't noticed that the contest was in the Calendar.
By the way, the Calendar is another very interesting and useful initiative.

Thanks, Mario!
Every announcement and the award sent to Kenneth will most probably very soon get into the Calendar.
By now, the number of contributions sent to him is still lower than we hoped for.

The solutions and some comments are published too:
https://www.wfcc.ch/wp-content/uploads/Christmas-Gallery-Contest-2023-NoNames.pdf
Some of the comments reveal quite hidden ideas and symbols, some add humor.
It's good to check them if you haven't sent your marks yet!

Methinks the author comments should have been published earlier -
I might have taken a closer look. (But due to an ongoing OTB tournament
I'm always in a hurry anyway...)

You still have time to correct your marks till tomorrow!
Many thanks to Hauke, Vlaicu, Ralf, Andrey, Udo, Kenneth, Mario, Srećko, Wilfried, Mikhail, Aleksandr, Bela, Nikola and Janos for marking!
However, only 4 of them in the most demanding B section, and only 6 in A.
Please, join!

The time for judging ended with 37 awards in A(14), B(9), and C(14).

Milan would be proud to see how his idea of collective judging engaged 23 judges from 15 countries:
Hauke Reddmann (A), Vlaicu Crisan (A&C), Ralf Kraetschmer (C), Andrey Frolkin (B&C),
Udo Degener (A), Kenneth Solja (A), Mario Parrinello (B&C), Srećko Radović (B&C),
Wilfried Neef (A&C), Mikhail Shalashov (B&C), Aleksandr Feoktistov (A&C),
Bela Majoros (B&C), Nikola Petković (A), Janos Csak (C), Živan Šušulić (B),
Alexey Gasparyan (A&C), Piotr Gorski (A, B & C), Zlatko Mihajloski (A),
Jorma Paavilainen (A&C), Henry Tanner (A&B), Menachem Witztum (C), Brennan Price (A), and Viktoras Paliulionis (A&B).

Apart from 21 judges who also took part in the CGC 2023 as composers, our special thanks to Brennan (A), and Piotr (A, B & C!), who entered the party as judges only.

If you have sent your award(s) on time, please, check the list above!

All in all, the CGC 2023 engaged 36 contributors form 19 countries, and inspired 43 Christmas compositions. The final placements will appear in the WFCC New Year's post.

P.S. This post was edited after including 2 more awards sent to a wrong address,
and 1 more award sent slightly later then expected.

Thanks to all, each new award adds to people's choice and intended fun!

@Marjan: Given that I royally bombed the mentioned OTB tournament
(https://chess-results.com/tnr871118.aspx?lan=0), maybe I *should*
have invested the time instead for reconsidering my vote :-)

I sent my marks yesterday, but by mistake I sent them to Kenneth instead of the given email address.
