Congrats everyone. I'm sure it wasn't at all easy for the judges, because there were so many very amazing renders submitted.

(That sure is a lot of penguins in Penguinville!)

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.

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. ;)
