Judges:
All judging will be done by myself and Digicom! We may have a special guest judge, but we will see what happens.
About the both of us:
Digicom and Njthug meet very randomly! Nj was in need of some cash and he saw a sexy Digicom, and asked him if he was looking to buy a few items, but it ended up this business deal was the start of a great friendship! Digicom and Njthug pretty much realized that we are both pretty crazy, and well crazy people belong together. After months n months of persuasion Digi joined Njthug in Eos where they live happily ever after with their wives Misobutt n Taters!
The End!
We are still looking for more judges, and currently the two others we are eyeing are:
- 1. Taylor Swift
2. Miley Cyrus
Certain art pieces might be judged by the community as a whole without you knowing it so in a sense players will be picking a few winners.

Since Eos is dead we figure no one will really submit art work from Eos!
