62.5: Gallery Revue – Results, sorta

This last contest was Shihan’s idea, and it was a terrible idea. Blame him.

We had only 12 participants. Though, even if we did have more nominations, that would have just made the voting even more impossible. Plus the requirements were too unavoidably subjective, the incentives were badly aligned, and the results were riddled with conflicts of interest. So consider Contest 62 cancelled. We’ve ditched the judging round and are splitting the $300 prize pool evenly to all 12 participants. If you filled out that form, you get $25. Happy 2019.

Shihan says “Sorry, that was dumb.”

Keep in mind that contests held here are independent of the Zen Gallery. Magnet sculptors can always submit photos to gallery.zenmagnets.com to win magnets as well. Spectators, keep your eyes peeled for the next contest, because you choose the winners. Contest 62 winners participants, we’ll email you your prizes soon.
