Ok folks, Its that time you have all been waiting for. That's right! Time to announce the winners. Without further delay here they are...

I just want to announce that I had some difficulty securing prizes from some of the manufacturers. I have received 5 sketch card prizes from Tom at Breygent Marketing and I received official word today from Topps that they will be sending me some boxes, but I am not sure as to the quantity. So, some of the honorable mention winners will get an extra sketch card (of course I will need to confer with the artist judges on this)or the amount on the gift certificate will be doubled to offset the prizes from the manufacturers.

Speaking of artist judges, I would like to announce the artists that judged each category.

Group 1 - Jon Ocampo
Group 2 - Chris Henderson
Group 3B - Jim Kyle
Group 3C - Steven Miller
Group 4 - Sean Pence

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the judges for their time taken out of their busy schedules (and for putting up with my numerous e-mails ) to judge and sketch the winning entires for this contest. Please support and thank these artists for their efforts with this contest.
