Ok...the judging is over and we have 3 winners and we will have 4 honorary mentions.The reason for the honorary mentions is that one of my judges has been at this for over 12 solid hours (up since 7 yesterday morning all tolled she's been up 32 hours)...the judges just got to a point where they could not get beyond a certain group and since one is dead on her feet with work tomorrow morning,we are very grateful that Pandygirl offered the honorary mentions prizes:)

The judges wish to say that this was one of the hardest things they've ever had to do and having been here with them during the whole thing,I can tell you they discussed every image in detail and that every image was treated with the utmost respect.The only easy part was that they could eliminate two out of three images per artist and even that was difficult lol.I would also hope that future contests could be judged like this,some last for weeks or days becasue people either can't give them their time or as in a certain contest on another site (where the judging has lasted over two weeks now),they may not be giving it any more thought than a few minutes a day.

To my judges I say thanks for you diligence and to the people who participated I say than you ever so much for your support as you really made it tough on us:)

We have 4 honorable mentions because deciding this was so tough and Pandygirl generally offered either Menia or Miss M from her store to these wonderful people so my friend and judge could live with her decision and get some much needed sleep lol:)

But thats not all,everyone who entered gets a prize for participating and Chrislenn will be on later to dedicate an image to all the participants along with details of what everyone will recieve~I thank her for her gracious contribution to this undertaking.

Will be back in later but hope we can do this again sometime...I think I learned how to make this run more smoothly now and hopefully we'll have a screensaver for you soon with all the entrys:)

Thanks again...was a magnificent turn out,spectacular artwork from each and every participant...and the sponsors are some of the most generous people I've had the pleasure of knowing for quite a while now:)

If the end goal of learning is genius...why are most geniuses failures at learning?
