We would like to thank everyone that participated in the contest. As you know from the voting, the judging was very tough indeed. In reviewing each of the images, we were truly impressed with the different creative visions and artistic expressions that came out of this contest. Each image held it's own message and we thank you for sharing it with us and the community.

Unfortunately, we have a limited number of prizes to give out. But, we think of each of you as a winner for the depth of creative power that you channeled and expressed through this experience. Blessings be to all of you.

And now...we unveil
the winners...
