That means that this year's Styrofoam Creature Head contest has concluded and all that's left to do is announce winners!
I know that this may sound like crap, but everyone did a fantastic job! If you've been following this contest here on the blog or on social media, then you know that many very talented artists from all over the world brought their "A" game and made choosing the winners EXTREMELY difficult!
At the end of our long deliberation, co-judges Chris Walas and Ted Haines both expressed how impressed they were with the over-all quality of ALL of the entries! They asked me to tell you all how much they loved the contest but mostly how much they truly enjoyed seeing all of your wonderful creations!
There are no losers in the contest. Not by a long-shot! The fact that you sat down this month and MADE something with your hands is a reward that no one but YOU can award yourself. Creation is power and you all exercised your creative power this month. You challenged yourselves and ran an artistic marathon that you completed with dignity and a great sense of fun.
Don't be angry if you weren't one of the top 10. I'm doing this again next year, so get INSPIRED and try like heck to impress the judges again NEXT year! That's the only way to GROW as an artist! Keep at it! Keep creating! Keep working with your hands!
Thanks again for your parade of monsters this Halloween! I'll see you all tomorrow with the list of winners!
Congratulations all and Happy Halloween!
Thank you Shannon and Chris and Ted! I had fun making the alien ;)
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed making the Zombie in a Frame and a big thanks Shannon & Co for the motivation. I'm now addicted to styrofoam wig heads, the possibilities are endless and that kind of inspiration is its own reward. Fabulous contest, roll on next year :)
