Congratulations! Extremely well deserved!

 

[Ken Gilliland]

Congratulations everyone. I do have to add, while the judges choices on the major prizes were close, the honorable mentions were even tighter... there could have easily been more than a dozen honorable mentions-- I had to make them do a second look to pare down the number to five. This year, by far, had the best number of prize-worthy entries I've seen.

 

[Dakorillon (IMArts)]

Congrats, everyone!

 

[Miss B]

I couldn't have said it better Ken. Absolutely wonderful entries by all who participated.

Congrats to the winners, and several of them did NOT surprise me.

[Mythocentric]

Congratulations to everyone! Some wonderful concepts and more than a few, "God! I wish I'd thought of that!" moments. Truly inspiring imagery.

 

[Satira Capriccio]

Very much so Mythocentric.
