"I'd like to thank everyone for participating. There was an extraordinary range of entries and a great deal of talent reflected across the board. It was difficult to select the front runners, and at the end of the day, artistic preferences are largely a subjective affair. I'd like it to to be known that everyone was a "winner" in the sense that the all the work was thoughtfully produced and reflected an inspired aesthetic and interesting outlook on the world. Do not be discouraged if you were not selected! Art is a matter of producing what matters to you - the rest will come. My one bit of advice - always be your own toughest critic, and only submit work that you would be proud to see hanging on a friend's wall. That's probably a better metric than most."
