As one of the judges, I can honestly say it was hard as all of the art was right on target with the theme and well executed. I am thrilled to see some new names in the winners/honorary lists that are unknown to me up to this point. I frequent most of the online galleries and will be watching for future works of these people. One thing I overlooked mentioning in my previous post, was the prize collection put up for this contest...amazing stuff. The prize posters need a round of applause and appreciation for donating such an array of great items.
