Welcome everyone to the first ever Preliminary Round! We had so many wonderful Entries. This I can tell you is the hardest cut I have ever had to do. I wish I had the patience to run a 40 odd person challenge but that is a just a biy to much for my brain to handle! 
We have narrowed it down to 16. Anyone who made onto all 3 judges lists made it in first, followed by 2 lists and so on. When we got to the singles I put everyone else in a drawing for the final few places. I hope everyone will understand this was EXTREMELY hard.
Ok now that I have said my Peace I will announce the 16 finalists for this cycle.

I am …..
We are all new to this competition,and we want to know more about
each other. This photo should give us an idea of who you are.
We already know you are sweet, so we want to see other aspects
of your personality. This is a super extra special round and I want you to really think outside the box. This is your chance to wow us!!
4 will be eliminated so put your best foot forward. Good luck and always have fun!!!
First round will be judged on Composition and Creativity only. Later on we will add in the cavity(Sweet) factor.
Editing is allowed but please keep it very light. Less is more, when it comes to that.

Example Shot: Last Cycles Winner- Sugar Zweets

Thanks everyone!!!
Mihnt Chocolatte by peaceloveleah
Being ridiculed because of her odd coloring has made Mihnt self conscious. She can’t pass a mirror without checking for flaws and is constantly swiping her tongue over her teeth for fear of having something lodged there.
Although, being lonely suits Mihnt’s shy nature and when it’s just her and her reflection, she feels safe. Sometimes, your reflection is the only real thing about you.

C.C. Puddin by Tamra1186
C.C.’s secret passion is spending time in his garage admiring his extensive collection of cars he’s remodeled, rebuffed, and brought back to life, save for his first car, the green one, which he’s kept in it’s original condition just as a reminder of where it all started. And although this has always been his place to get away from it all, he can’t help but wonder when he’ll meet that special girl that will complete him and give him a distraction this garage that can get lonely at times…

Red Velvet by StarMclight2
By day Red Velvet loves to spend time with friends but she also loves to practice Tae Kwon Do . Occasionally she can be found in the park exhibiting various techniques to her mentor and friend. She is hopefully trying to make her way up the ranks towards the covenant black belt but will have to settle for second level yellow for…now.

Apple Split by PerkyRainbow999
Apple Split grew up in the slums of Sunset Valley. His father left when he was 5 years old and his mother struggled to pay the bills every month. She worked 2 jobs, so often Apple Split had few people to interact with and toys to play with.
As he got older, he became active in the local community center. He wanted to help the less fortunate kids and provide them with a safe, entertaining place to play at.
Unfortunately, as can be seen in the picture, the Marrows, Sunset Valley’s richest land developers have seen the local park where the children play and have decided to take the land for development.
This deeply hurts Apple. He tries to reason with the Marrows, but they simply do not care. Now, Apple is trying to keep his cool in front of the children. He has to be strong. He has to set an example.
Times can be hard, but like an apple, one must know when to be both sweet and sour.

Maui Punch Pixystix by Alyssum Candy
Maui Punch Pixystix is a Daredevil, Charismatic, Childish, Excitable & Easily Impressed. So, when her friends double-dog-dared her to jump in central park’s fountain, she didn’t hesitate!

Taffy Saltwater by omgirl123p
Kiwi Strawberry by viciouslyjoyous
Due to her geeky exterior, Kiwi doesn’t attract much attention. When she introduces herself many rely on the pink/green hair or thick glasses for a first impression. But that all chances when she picks up a guitar. Winning hearts over with the six-stringed instrument has become a daily activity in Kiwi’s life. Besides being her friendship Miracle-Gro, the music works as a stress reliever. Kiwi Strawberry is determined to make them listen.

Cherry Muffin by chica_del_padre
Despite however they may feel about each other, Cherry greets each of her house guests with a smile and an offer of food. She can’t expect others to be kind to her unless she is also kind to them…Plus it was one of the manners her mother raised her to have.

Cocoa Alamode by aim674
Cocoa is not only unique she has quite a personality. She is sweet at times but can be sour. She is not only smart, friendly, and a bit of a loser but Cocoa is also known around town for breaking a few boys heart. But when she met Leighton she knew he was the one that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with! Leighton is the cheese to her macaroni. She only hopes it will last…

Blueberry-Lime Granita by cantapoupe
Anyone who knows Blueberry-Lime knows her as a bit of a klutz. Really, how did she not see that picnic table?

Abba Zabba by BritNicHug13
Mango Sorbet by lalabhead9
Mango never really enjoys going to the gym; in fact, her lack of athleticism proves to be the main cause of her clumsiness. Nevertheless, she attempts to exercise daily to make up for all those chocolate-chip muffins she devours during her lunch break.

Raspberry Blue by Isenstrider
Raspberry Blue would never admit it, but he has an entire room filled with toys and baby furniture. He doesn’t have a child.. yet… but it’s what he wants more than anything.
Sometimes when he’s feeling down, he’ll sit in his future child’s room. He always feels better quickly.

Raspberry Lemonade by SimManiac
Raspberry has always loved the love aspect of living. Unfortunately he only loved one girl,since the fourth grade, named Candy Cupcake. He loved to daydream about the perfect date with her, but whenever he saw her he got too nervous to ask her out. Will he ever find the guts to ask?

Sprinkles Cupcake by velcroshoes
Sprinkles has a busy life, she works in the police force as a 911 operator climbing the ladder to being in the CSI so when she has a day (or a break) off she loves to spend it in her room dancing to her favorite music. It helps reduce stress plus its mega fun!

Strawberry Vanilla by Ambz00
Strawberry Vanilla wouldn’t consider herself a coward, but she knew she was afraid of butterflies. She’d tried to expose herself to them, but everytime she would just become terrified.. maybe if she just didn’t look at them..

I just found this modeling competition today. IT is probably the best one I’ve seen.
I like that you don’t just go for the ‘gorgeous’ girl, but instead go off of the cute girl/guy next door.
All of these contestants shot great pictures, I don’t know how you choose!
Well, I’m off to read your next assignment.
You just got a new viewer.

Well thank you! I really appreciate it. They all do an amazing job. Judging is very difficult
