Hello, everyone! We're starting a new journal for contest news now that the entry period has finished. We've received a few questions, and we're sure we'll get more, so here's the place to find answers!

1) When will we find out who won? Winners will be announced in an awards ceremony at con! The ceremony time is still TBD, and may occur after the books go on sale Friday. If that is the case, well, the surprise will be when you pick up your book! We will try to login over the weekend to post the winners after the ceremony.

2) When will the books be on sale? Friday at 2pm in Artist Alley. These books are limited, so don't delay in stopping by to pick them up!

3) Are you doing online orders? </a> Sorry, Fanime is not set up to take online orders for this project at this time.

4) What if I won but I can't attend the con? We will arrange to ship your prize to you.

5) If I don't know if I've won, how will I know whether I need to buy a copy of the book or not? Winners will be contacted before con to arrange the ceremony and prize delivery. However, if you are not contacted before con, this does not mean you weren't selected for an honorable mention! Honorable mentions get printed in a gallery in the book, and will be named in the ceremony but do not receive a prize.

I have uploaded the entries to a photobucket page for easy viewing. If you do not see your entry, please contact us right away! Note that there are THREE PAGES of entries! View them here. Original estimates put us over 50 entries, but it looks more like just over 40. Thanks again, everyone, for participating! Turnout was great and we're truly touched!
