Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on October 4, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 2000, Silver: 1000, Bronze: 500
- Final notes: I loved this contest. The energy from everyone was wonderful. Sadly, Liza was unable to participate as she had hoped to in the contest. We were so grateful for her input in the contest concept and I think it was a wonderful success.
This was not easy to judge at all. Ultimately, after much discussion we came down to our top three choices.
1. vaguely familiar -ichthys
2. evil tempest- going back
3. saffron - the conversation of sower and seed
thank you to everyone.
Mary and Al
