==Finishing Places==
Position	Username 	Entry
#11 	TrippingMetal 	???
#10 	Diwi 	Live-action music video, featuring Diwi lip-syncing along to the credits music of Spares.
#9 	GammaByteStudios	Animation, beginning with Gamma wondering how he could win the Competition. He then proceeds to steal Edd's shoes in order to think like Edd. He is then run over by a train, driven by Tom. The group look on at the body, until Matt throws a grenade at it, much to Tom's annoyance, who asks why can't they "live like British people". This confuses Edd as they are British, until Tord points out they could act like upper-class stereotypical British people. They have a tea party, which is interrupted by a bear, who scares away Tom and kills Tord - using Tord's blood as tea. This scares Matt and Edd.
#8 	EdwardRussell 	Animation, featuring a dance competition between Ed and a stranger. This video was removed from YouTube after the competition (the only finalist's video to be removed).
#7 	PhillipSuperShow	Animation, featuring a fictional history of Eddsworld. Tom wants a Smirnoff, but unfortunately, the gang has no money. Edd then decides to put animations on the internet to raise some money. However, they spend all their newly-gained money in an arcade, before they remember about the Smirnoff.
#6 	KidneyJohn 	Animated music video, featuring a video for Synthos, with Edd having his brain removed, Tom becomes a flower, Tord as he was in Moving Targets and Matt (compared to Beaker from The Muppets) lighting up a decoration, which says "Indubitably!".
#5 	Ukinojoe 	Live-action/animation hybrid, featuring Edd walking across the screen, only to be captured by a large live-action version of Joe, who proceeds to rip off Edd's arm before decapitating and eating him.
#4 	Lisamoya 	Silent animation, beginning with a scene of Lisa looking at her earlier video for the Eddsworld Competition, where there is a negative comment from Eddsworld. She accidentally throws a revenge comic in Edd's house and tries to retrieve it, only to be caught by Edd and Tord, who threaten her with violence until they realise they could make money by selling her back to her relatives. Her friends arrive and hurt Tom in exchange for payment. They give them the revenge comic and the group gets mad and chases after her with weapons.
#3 	Cobalt0Chloride 	Animation, starting with the gang watching an advert for moving to Canada. It is spectacularly underwhelming and the group are glad they live in the UK, when a coke drops from the ceiling and Edd grabs it and is quickly whisked to Canada - quickly followed by the rest when they try to rescue him. After a brief conversation with a local Canadian, they are then advised to go to the airport. After a long tedious journey, they reach the airport.
#2 	PivotRJ 	Animation, coming second to TORENOROSE's film. This short features Edd trying to paint eyes on Tom. However, when Tom realises this, he shoots himself (and that's why you don't give Tom eyes).
#1 	TORENOROSE 	Stop-motion claymation, which contains, amongst others, a parody of ET, a cola can wreaking his revenge on Edd by drinking him and music videos to Daft Punk's Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, Caramelldansen and Andrew W.K.'s We Want Fun.
== Trivia ==
SkoolCool meets Eddsworld (a fan animation) was supposed to be part of the contest but it was rejected due to being submitted too late despite Edd really liking it.
