At the end of October, =mizuuko and myself were discussing the fact that there seem to be a significantly less amount of male artistic nude photographs in comparison to female artistic nude photographs. And from this conversation, was born the idea to hold a contest in celebration of the male body.

Since then we had a total of 43 entries, and no matter how shy the model was, we got our male artistic nudes one way or another. It was a very impressive competition.

The judges [=mizuuko ^serpentinekiss ^tracie76 and myself] had a very difficult time deciding just who would be the final winner. The results were extremely close.

Before I announce the winners, I would like to specify the prizes:

A big congratulations to those who won [your subscriptions will arrive soon], and to those who entered. You all achieved so much, by expanding the amount of male artistic nudes in the artistic nude gallery. We, the judges, thank you for that.

A big thank you to ^serpentinekiss and ^tracie76 for helping out with the contest, and a massive kiss to =mizuuko for inspiring the contest from a discussion we had.

And in conclusion, I'd like to state that this contest is one of the most successful ones I've had the pleasure of conducting, so a big thank you to all the deviants who showed interest, who got involved, and who sent lovely notes of encouragement. It couldn't have worked without you all. So give yourself all a big pat on the back!
