Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests and dignitaries of this noble court,
The hour of unveiling of the winners of the drawing contest has come.
But before I start though, I’d first like to thank all the participants who took their time to create wonderful artworks of the character “Sofia Fairborne”. This -> gallery certainly couldn’t have existed without their unique perspective of the given subject. Let’s give them a round of applause. Second, a nod to the judges of impartial conduct who also took their time to give each piece a equal consideration before dispensing judgement. Lastly, I’d like to thank the sponsors of the event namely the Black Lion Underground [BLU] and Pretty Armor and Weapons Now [PAWN] for supplying the contest prizes.
First, a shout-out to the all the participants including…
Cyann Thorburn for Entry #2
and Mamo.3876 for Entry #5.
Without further delay, let’s start with the judges’ picks…
Starting on the 1st step of the stairway, we have…

Let’s give our winners a round of applause.
There’s still more to come though. I, along with the judges didn’t think it was enough to credit the winners with the prizes they have now; so I included some Frost & Fire dyes into the mix should any of the entries qualify for the special categories. So without further delay…
Under the ‘Jovial’ category, we have Entry #4 as the winner.
Then we have the ‘Serene’ category, which Entry #3 received the highest # of votes.
Here concludes Stage 1 of the drawing contest. And of the next stage of the contest.
I see people are attempting to flip their tables; I invite you to do so as our event caterer has made accommodations for this happening and deployed tables of sturdy, and heavy construction. So you might ask why? Well, for one, I am already content with the submissions from this contest. This is not to say that I want to back away from having to give away prizes I have listed as prizes on the second stage. On the contrary, I am planning to continue with the contest.
As of now, I am not quite ready to share the details as to what the next contest will entail. What I am ready to disclose though is that the prizes will still be either volcanus/infinite light, gold prizes, and possibly more. Beyond that, I am still scrambling to put the contest together. Here is the kicker though, I am dropping the character requirement so this will open a lot of doors to would-be participants and give the community plenty of fan-made submissions. =)
Hope that clears things up! Let me know what you think of the matter.
