Original Character Appreciation Contest Winners

Original Character Appreciation Contest Results

Back in October the Original Character Appreciation Contest was launched, and on December 31st after 224 entries, the contest closed.

It was great to host this contest, and I have been sent over two hundred submissions that impressed me. It was a great honor to be able to host this contest. Hopefully one day I will be able to host another contest similar to this.

Before the results, a note about the prizes. First place winners will not be able to receive a Fella plushie right away. They are currently out of stock, but Heidi reassured us that the Fella plushie will be restocked as soon as next week.

There were several submissions that were outstanding and made judging difficult, but in the end only six deviations could be chosen as winners, and they are...
