I'm very impressed with the quality of the winners, and not ashamed to lose to them. Though they beat the pants off my old school color pencil entry (no fancy photoshop here!), I made it to be seen, and, dammit, it will be seen!

Every year I'm amazed at the quality of the entries. Some people must be professionals . Couldn't submit an entry this year, maybe next year!

Grats to the winners.

I knew I'd seen that one before. That one is 2 years old (Submitted: January 14, 2007). I love Makani's art, so I have visited his deviant site before. Did someone steal that from his deviant art page or what happened???

Awesome entries, all of them. Gratz to all!

Piano arrangement was gorgeous. I don't know why it didn't take top place.

Rest of my special likes are same as most - mini polar bear comic, gwen bar scene (think the Jotun idea of a snowball is great).
The work that went into Sonia Skigirl's Grenth shrine is something else.

I wish I had a small bit of the creativity shown by these artists.
Congratulations and enjoy your well-earned prizes and the admiration of the GW community.

Or maybe Anet still only allows entries from America, Canada and Europe:
# Eligibility (location): Entries will be accepted from legal residents of the United States (excluding the State of Rhode Island, Guam, Puerto Rico, U.S. territories, military installations and commonwealths), Canada (excluding Quebec) and Europe. (Canadian residents will be required to answer an additional mathematical question in order to claim their prize.)

We have disqualified Brad Roberts's entry. The artwork that he entered was stolen. Not only was it stolen, it was stolen from someone else who won a prize in the contest.

If you would like his IGN so you can send him some choice messages in-game, just PM me. (I'm just kidding about this, of course. :-P)

We will be publishing a replacement in the coming days. Right now we can't get to it this week because we have been dealing with other pressing issues (for example the current controversy in GvG), but we will have this on the website as soon as we can.
