Dear participants!
Thank you for your feedback. Following a discussion of the comments received regarding some of the winning entries, and acting in the interests of all participants, the competition committee decided to establish a separate nomination, which includes all entries for which there is reason to believe that they were created using ready-made image outlines (i.e. based on coloring books or other images, the originals of which are easily found on the Internet). The terms of the competition do not prohibit the use of such drawing techniques, but in order to avoid competition between such entries and those that were done entirely by hand, the jury decided to create a separate nomination.
If you did not find your work among the winners or in the TOP150 best works of the competition, then remember: 584 (!) works were submitted to the competition, which were ranked by the sum of points of the jury members. Probably, your work did not get enough points by a little. This does not make it bad, it just competed with other equally strong works and lost to them. Next time you will definitely be lucky!
Paper certificates will be awarded only to winners and participants who made it into the TOP 150. We will do everything in our power to ensure that all prizes and certificates reach their recipients as quickly as possible, but given their number, this may take a long time. Please be patient and contact the contacts listed in the news text with any questions.
Participants whose works did not win prizes and were not included in the TOP 150 best works will receive participant certificates in electronic form.
