[Flu] Hallowe'en Poetry Competition (9)

*Flutterings:iconFlutterings: reports, 2d 15h ago
So instead of something trite and drearily obvious and orange hallowe'eny style - my contest for this month is about All Saints, and All Souls day...

I want you to write about death, and the dead. It can tie into hallowe'en as much or as little as you like but I'll warn you I am looking for some genuine and honest emotion here, Hallowe'en is a holiday - not an emotion, and it has been done.

Original Character Appreciation Contest Winners

Original Character Appreciation Contest Results



Back in October the Original Character Appreciation Contest was launched, and on December 31st after 224 entries, the contest closed.

It was great to host this contest, and I have been sent over two hundred submissions that impressed me. It was a great honor to be able to host this contest. Hopefully one day I will be able to host another contest similar to this.

Before the results, a note about the prizes. First place winners will not be able to receive a Fella plushie right away. They are currently out of stock, but $Heidi reassured us that the Fella plushie will be restocked as soon as next week. :)

There were several submissions that were outstanding and made judging difficult, but in the end only six deviations could be chosen as winners, and they are...

Congrats to everyone. This was fun to be a part of And while I think an OC should be judged more by the idea/concept behind it as opposed to how well its dressed up in Photoshop, I'm glad to see talented artists rewarded for their hard work.

Thanks to the judges, and a very special thanks to Nyiana-Sama for all the hard work and commitment that made this contest possible :)
