Results of the artwork contest 2017 – Top 12

It’s time! Time for the top 12 of the Sandra and Woo and Gaia artwork contest 2017! The contests of the last years were often dominated by submissions related to Sandra and Woo. For example, Woo was present in 9 of 10 submissions of the top 10 in 2015. However, this year, the top 3 are all related to Gaia!

The submissions are ordered from place 12 to 1. As you can see, we’ve received some elaborate and innovative pieces of art this year again. I found it particularly difficult to determine the positions of this year’s entries. Therefore, our next year’s contest will probably involve some kind of voting to make things a little easier for me. Please show your support by visiting the artists’ websites and/or by writing a comment in the comment section of this blog post!

Results of the artwork contest 2017 – Places 13 to 25

It’s finally time to present the submissions placed between the positions 13 and 25 of the Sandra and Woo and Gaia artwork contest 2017. I would like to thank all artists who have submitted a drawing or other piece of art. For each submission, I will give a short explanation what I liked most about it. But I will also mention what I didn’t like about it, preventing the submission from making it into the top 10.

It’s time again for our yearly Gaia and Sandra and Woo artwork contest! It comes with a total prize money of $1100!

As you can see below, not only the best entry will receive a nice sum of money. If your drawing skills are just average, you will still have the chance to become one of the winners by drawing something funny, clever or innovative. Your drawing must clearly reference Gaia or Sandra and Woo in some way. You can also submit other types of art such as 3D models, action figures, fanfiction, or even (photos of) a cosplay costume.

  • 1st place: $250
  • 2nd place: $200
  • 3rd place: $150
  • 4th place: $125
  • 5th place: $100

  • 9th place: $45
  • 10th place: $35

Please send your entry in an e-mail with the subject “Artwork contest 2017” to novil@gmx.de. You can attach the file to the e-mail or put a link to it in the e-mail’s text body. You must submit your entry until (including) Monday, 21 August 2017. If you have a website that I should link, please put its URL into your e-mail as well.

Additional information about the contest:

  • You can submit several drawings or other types of art, but you can win at most two prizes.
  • Please do not publish your artwork on other websites before the end of the contest. After that, you can post it anywhere you want.
  • You can sign your work. But a large, ugly watermark will reduce your chance of winning.
  • Digital images should be sent in their original size in a lossless format, for example as a PNG file with full color depth. If you draw the image on paper, you should send me a large, clean scan of it in a lossless format, for example as a PNG file with full color depth. However, you can’t send me files larger than 25 MB by e-mail.
