Geneva Lake Divers by markhayward
There is so much going on in this picture: you have the collective spirit of youth perfectly represented by young boys in action on a hot summers day, some of the figures are lazily waiting on different parts of the tower happy to watch the others take their turn on the board, the figures in full flight are in a circular acrobatic composition and the whole picture is anchored by main figure in the foreground who wears an expression of satisfaction at the days events. Nearly every character in the picture is “in the moment”. It instantly brings back my own youth at the local swimming pool. Great composition and technically well executed.
Category Winner: Photography
Prize: $200 RedBubble Voucher
How Young to Understand Death by Richards
Of all the emotions experienced at a funeral, bewilderment, shock and anger are three of the most prevalent. It seems the boy in the foreground and the officer in
the middle show all three at once in this very poignant photograph of the first police funeral in Windsor, Ontario in 150 years. The viewer can feel the pain at a glance,
and then wonder what the mourners are looking at exactly. The coffin being lowered to the ground, a priest giving the eulogy, or something else peculiar to this particular service.
With a classic triangular composition this photograph carries a strong emotive, narrative and visual story.
Category Winner: Traditional
Prize: $200 Redbubble Voucher
Letters from Longbeach by JASHERLYNCH
The central figure is very mysterious in this very contemporary picture that puts the traditional idea of surfing as “fun” into a grimy, gritty visual context. The work is full of contrasts that makes me wonder about the state of mind of the person sending the postcard. Fortunately I can’t read the writing so i am left to make my own impression. I love the combination of mediums and the use of negative space. It is the sort of work that if I had it hanging on my bedroom wall would take me on a different emotional journey when I woke each morning.
Category Winner: Digital Image
Prize: $200 RedBubble Voucher
The endless walk by Geir Floede
Beautiful imagery of a person in the wilderness wearing a track in deep into the snow. She has come from offstage but looks set to walk endlessly in a circle til she
breaks free . . . or someone breaks into her world. She is definitely “in the moment”. Very understated, exceptionally powerful.

Okey dokey, putting on my writer’s HQ @ redbubble hat. A fedora today I think.
Here are the answers to a few of your questions above.
1) Other writing runners up. There are a further 10 short stories and 12 poems that have been selected for the publication. If we can fit more writing in – we will. Like Jo jo said, we are finalising the layout now and have a large team of trained hamsters running 24/7 in lime green plastic wheels to get the thing out by middish February.
2) No comments on the writers here because we decided to let their work speak for itself here. Comments will appear in the book.
3) There were about 1800 writing entries alone and our judges had a big job. They plan to have more than one stiff drink as a result. In fact, when I last saw them, they were still in the bar downing multiple whiskies and vodkatinis.
4) Well done to everyone who entered. It really was amazing reading it all. Thank you for sharing your art with us.

First thing, the layout of the book needs to be finalised. Only when that has happened will the final selection of artworks be known. At that point RedBubble will let us know so we can be all happy for each other. It is a limited edition of (I believe) 1000 numbered copies. Some of these will go to winners and runners up and some will be available to us all. RedBubble are not about to sneak out and put them up for sale while we are all sleeping. We’ll hear about it before it happens with all the details we need to know. So don’t stress about getting one just yet :)

Congratulations to all winners. Well done, for all those who took part in this competition. All of them deserve a “bravo” for spending time widening their imagination. A special mention, a “well done” from my part to Geir Floede for “Endless walk”. For those disappointed in the writing winners, I could probably agree with them as very often happened with literature criticism, but not because they are “sour grapes” as someone said (I think that if there is such tendency nowadays in writing, it is something, philologists or historians should examine, not condemn), but because once more the criteria are not evident. But what can you do? It is not science, where we have the results of an experiment, on the contrary it is a subjective point of view according to the judge’s background, philosophy and knowledge.
