2011 Comic Contest Winners

NEWS FEATURE OF WINNERS: news.deviantart.com/article/16…

Thank you for your patience. The judging process is now finished. It was really tough this year. You guys REALLY turned up the heat this year. Without a collective judging effort, we would surely have never reached a conclusion. Some of the entries were separated by mere tenths of points.  So, yeah. Amazing job, all of you!

Everyone! Congratulations for completing your comics and adding to your own collective works. We really enjoyed reading them! The winners this year are truly well-rounded, and I think this fact played a key role in their placement. Thanks so much for the wonderful participation. I hope no one is discouraged; rather, everyone is immensely proud of their hard work and dedication!

We'll be working on a news feature of all the artists, featuring the comics!

From Ashikai: "CONGRATULATIONS to everyone, winners and all! If you even managed to enter, you deserve a lot of credit, because you accomplished something. And that's something to be proud of. "

Without further ado, the winners:

1st Place: -- Love Love Fighting

3rd Place: -- Different

We will contact each of you concerning the prizes.  So, stay tuned and watch your notes! And congratulations!

Because the scores really were close, we think it's worth mentioning these entries as well. Winners in their own right! Congratulations for creating such well-crafted comics. All of these entries really stood out, and if you haven't done so already, check them out!
