I've decided to go through all previous level design contests and LOTY contests and list the winners and 2nd placements.
3rd placements were often not documented or if they were are often a result of ties between two winners. LOTY often did document those though.
In a few cases persons also occupied also multiple placements - like levels from person A took 2nd and 3rd place.
I plan to update the list after future contests. Enjoy! :)

This is the hall of fame of NeoLemmix, I guess
@Icho - Looks great! :thumbsup: One suggestion, and that is I wonder if right next to #3's that it should be specified that it was a tag team/collaboration contest in parenthesis ??? Then again, I think the slashes in the results kind of implies the tag team nature, although I think it could potentially be incorrectly interpreted as a tie. However, you do specify ties when they do happen, but even then I think to clear up all doubt there can be a note for #3's contest being a tag team one. I'm definitely being pedantic here, though, but I'm a very detail-oriented person, as you all know :P Speaking of which, maybe one of those collaborations can get started again sometime? It's been too long since the last one, and I think I will most definitely take part in it if so ;)
Also, by compiling the results, it does confirm my guess, which I never bothered to verify myself, that you currently lead the LDC's with the most first place wins :) I must say that's really amazing, 5 wins over 25 LDCs. That's 20%, for some more stats fun! ;) Also, missing 4 wins for first place and 5 wins for second place. Interesting :laugh:
Finally, during the voting phase, I think going forward I will keep track of the number of votes that each level gets for my own personal records, and then once the voting is over and the winner(s) have been determined, I will post my spreadsheet publicly to the site. In this way, I won't be doing it as each voting round closes ;)
I updated the overall results table!
I dived as deep as I could into the documented voting rounds to get as many 3rd places as possible out of the data. This resulted in many new placings!
And from contest 15 onwards it was always possible to determined a 3rd rank!
As Icho is currently away, I have updated the table results to reflect the new standings due to voting for LDC #30 has ended earlier today. As a result, we finally have 4 counts of a 1st place finish, as well as 5 counts of a second place finish, and an additional member to the 1 count of a 3rd place finish. :laugh: ;)
