The judges for Gaia are a mix of RedBubble members and those who are new to the site. Each of them has an interest in Gaia and expertise in images or writing. They come from all over the RedBubble earth.

They each marked a large shortlist of works independently against the stated criteria of quality and how well the work illuminated the theme of “Gaia”. The results were then tallied.

Hehe… We were revealed after the judging. :)

Thank you everyone. All the entries were amazing and this has been one of the toughest things that we’ve ever had to do. Well done you all!! It’s such an honour to be involved in this publication!

It made so much the difference this time around. Sorry RB if it sounds like I was a sore stickler for ITM. But, well, ITM was really a test run wasn’t it? This time… The gold has hit the shebang and it’s beaming sunshine. In other words. The results are spot on in my books. Top stuff and great work with the judging.

Interesting, nice to share; I was not aware of such diversity in the ranks so to speak! Thank you to all, I can’t imagine it being an easy task to take on board!

Hey guys [judges] – the category winning entries released this morning are a real credit to you all – fantastic judging, and if you all have a say in the rest of the publication with these kind of choices – its gonna be one awesome sell out book

I agree w/ Julie… great choices!

It’s great to meet the people involved in the judging process. There were so many great entries that I certainly don’t envy the judges. Well done on your selection of winners. I look forward to seeing the finished book.
