First Digicom and myself wish to say thank you for everyone who entered in this contest we had about 70+ players enter and well over 225 entries which is amazing. Our goal with this contest was to create one of the biggest art contests for Spiral Knights which will create a lot of Sk related art work. The both of us truly like Spiral Knights the game has its flaws, but our friends and the overall challenges we come across while playing Spiral Knights truly keeps us coming back.

Thank you for making this art contest one to forever remember in Sk history guys all the art work was pretty amazing all of you guys should pat yourselves on the back since what you all accomplished together is something most games strive to do create is a player base that appreciates the art work created by their game artists.

I am certain that Ian and Boswick are looking at all these entries and may have even printed a few of them out and well hung them up around the Three Rings office.

Some-Side-Notes:

1. You will receive your prizes in 1 to 3 days max. (We have to mail out 70+ mails)
2. Certain categories sadly only have 2 winners due to lack of art in the categories, but this allowed us to expand other categories with a few more winners than listed.
3. A few players will be receiving small prizes since honestly their art work was epic, but sadly the other entries out-weighed them in the category they submitted their art in, but we overall loved their entry.
4. All the winners listed are final we are not re-judging or re-counting the "votes" (Sadly this is a dictatorship)
