I last wrote about the on campus art contests. Well, here are the results:
Over 90 entries were submitted. I submitted 5 (most was 8, many 1). When we arrived for the reception, five entries were covered (1st - 3rd, there must be a tie). The runners up were on display, with "Fog, Bench, and Tree"
[link] in 7th and "Autumnal Leaf"
[link] in 4th. For these I will getting some gift certificates. They had sitting out the non-winning submissions. There were some pretty cool concepts, but some people had shot themselves in the foot by submitting 4 almost identical versions of a photo. In amongnst those was "The Devil Inside"
[link] which I had retitled "The Spirit Within" for PCness. A did a simple inventory, and could not locate two of my prints. That must mean they are behind the covered easels, getting 3rd, 2nd, or 1st.
And so after people looked around, introductions started, and the runners up were introduced (including my two earlier mentioned pieces). Then the three tied third place photos were unveiled. None of them were mine. It was only a question of which got first, and which got second. "London Eye Fairylights"
[link] came in 2nd. And my favorite, "Enchanted"
[link] came in first! For each of those I won $100. That will help cover some of the printer supplies cost. Damn, this printer is addictive, and costing me a fair bit.
So I am fairly jazzed, and am looking for some other venues to compete.
