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

Hmm.. not sure how (or even if it should have, since didn't seem so "dark") bodger's entry got from the funniest category to the general one, but well deserved anyhow. Was probably my favorite entry as well, nicely done. Congrats to all the other winners as well.. No such luck for me it seems, a month 'o work for naught :[ Ah well, didn't fare much better in the last Halloween contest I did here, guess I'll take a hint. I shall now go away and stew in bitterness and bad sportsmanship.. so there! :P

well done to all, every single entry was brilliant, and all main winners well deserved! im excedingly happy i got a GC thank you sooo much :D

Congrats to everyone, I personally had a lot of fun with the contest and look forward to the next Poser contest RO offers. ^.^
