Winners of the Mermay art contest!

You guys! What a mer-mazing bunch of entries for the Mermay art contest๐Ÿ’–

We got 97 entries, our biggest turn out yet! Thanks to all who took part๐Ÿ™

We decided to change things up a bit this time, and instead of our usual write-up of the winners, we did the big reveal live! Aaand, the founder of Mermay Tom Bancroft joined us to judge the entries!

Tom hand-picked the top 2 winners, along with 2 runner ups. And our very own Lee White picked another 7 as honorable mentions. Then they critiqued all 11!

Weโ€™ll be adding the recording of the event to our subscription next week, but in the meantime here are the winning entries!

TOP TWO: Cory Shaw and Pamela Fraley

RUNNERS UP: Darian Pereira and Nadya Bonten-Slenders

HONORABLE MENTIONS: Marek Halko, Lisa Griffin, Norman Morana, Lisa Rush, Laura Balmaceda, Braden Hallett and Corey Johnston

Thanks again to all who entered, sea you next time! June contest info coming soon!
