Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on January 3
- Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 3 people
- Final notes: I decided to close this contest early.
Usually, I rubric grade pieces in order to judge fairly...yet this time I simply wished to be an average Joe. I'm sick of being placed on a pedestal, sick of people "aspiring" to live up to my "expectations". Yes - I'm in a childish mood and rightly so too. So, in my quest to be "normal" I decided to be totally and undeniably biased. At least this way the whining will be legitimate.
Well done winners!
