Please note that Chris Walas, Ted Haines, and I had a VERY VERY difficult time arriving at the following decisions. It was not reached without careful consideration of the fabulous work that every competing artist did.
As I've said before, no one has lost anything! Because of this contest 23 really cool creatures were brought onto the Earth and I, for one, am happy about it. But...I'm not a wealthy individual and I only have a limited number of prizes and so from the 7th runner up to the top three, I humbly present the list:
7th Runner up: Christine Rose
 |
| For her "Out of the Box" originality! Great job, Christine! |
6th Runner up: Deborah Payne
 |
| Using a long-neck Styrofoam head and her artistry gave Deborah the edge! |
5th Runner up: Jason Vines
 |
| Jason came out strong at the beginning of the contest and offered this AWESOME creature! |
4th Runner up: Dany Boivin
 |
| We loved Dany's creature! Really impressive stuff! |
3rd Runner up: Bill Baker
 |
| Ted really loves Evil Clowns! Love the little corpse coming out of the head! |
2nd Runner up: Heather Jones
 |
| Those tusks! That lip! Those gauge holes! What a face! |
1st Runner up: Jasper Anderson
 |
| As Chris Walas said: "If we were giving the award based on personality only, this would be the winner! Nicely done! |
AND NOW THE FINALISTS:
3rd Finalist: Noemi Smith
 |
| It was the layers of textures, the concept, and the clean execution that got Neomi 3rd Place! |
2nd Finalist: Cesar Decol, Jr.
 |
| This Shock-Monster really bowled us ALL OVER! It is EXCELLENT! |
The WINNER of the 1st Annual Styrofoam Creature Head contest: Joanna Daignault from Great Britain!
 |
| Okay, this was just PLAIN CREEPY! So well done! So professional! |
Congratulations to Joanna and ALL of our contestants! Trust me when I said that this was REALLY difficult for the three of us! DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED! We'll be back next year with more prizes and opportunities to share our work and connect globally in the celebration of creativity! Thanks everyone for your participation and interest! Keep working with your hands!
All the best and Happy Halloween, your pal -
