Congratulations to the winners of the Artful Apple contest! We were simply blown away by the number of entries and how much work contestants put into their creations. Our judges had a very difficult time making their decision. But before we put the expertise of our judging panel to work, we let voters have their say. As stated in the published Rules and Regulations, all finalists were selected based on popular vote. The Grand Prize winner was then selected from the five finalists who received the highest number of votes. Our judges based their decision on the creativity and originality of the entries. All secondary prizewinners were selected from the 20 finalists who received the highest number of votes. Again the judges made their selections based on the creativity and originality of the entries. Thank you to everyone who participated in the Artful Apple contest. We greatly enjoyed reviewing all of your entries.
