Art Contest Winners!!

The long wait is over!! Presenting to you, the winners of Art is Cool-Art Contest. Indeed it was a tough decision for us. I said in my previous update that from top 17, only top 7 will be the winners. But all are really great, so I added one and make it top 8 and I added prizes as well. The results was based on the scores given by the 3 critics and 10% from readers votes. I am really thankful for this two who helped me made this contest successful. Thank you so much @lioness777 and @Gracee. To non-winners thank you for participating. Everyone are winners here, no losers, because you guys did your best which matters the most, not the prizes. Here are the winners and 3 will receive special awards. **1st Place - Sticky Thoughts (90.5%) by** @ZiraZir **$3**

**2nd Place - My Little Brother's Doggy (88.9%) by** @EYERISH687 **$2.50**

**SPECIAL AWARDS:** **Best in Story: Art of Teaching Deaf and Mute by** @esciisc **$1** There are actually two who got best in story, but since Sticky Thoughts got the first place, I will solely give this award to Art of Teaching Deaf and Mute. I chose this story because it is inspiring and different from the rest. Teaching deaf and mute isn't an easy task. You need dedication and perseverance in order to show your passion of teaching towards these kind of students. Others may not call this art, but if you will understand the meaning of the story, you will appreciate this artwork as well. There are so many ways to show art, not only through drawing, painting, handcraft, but even through teaching, cooking, gardening, etc.

**Best in Handcraft: Mini Waterfalls by** @kat2x **$1** You can see the creativity from this handcraft - from empty shells, dirty pebbles and stones, natural plants to a great mini waterfall. Aside from it, the story behind this handcraft is also great. As what the artist said, it signifies the beauty of nature with its real treasure.

**Best in Digital Arts: My Dream $1** This award was supposed to be given to Bamicious, but seems that the user isn't active and the article has been unpublished or deleted. So I chose My Dream by @Jihan because it's simple yet you can see the high level of complexity of the technology used and the story behind this art is great, the artist made it from the core of his art.

Non-winners from top 17 will receive $0.15 each. Again, congratulations to all winners and non-winners 👏👏👏 Please continue doing artwork and you can still submit your articles to Art is Cool community. To all participants, just pursue your passion in art, someday, you'll be a great artist and will be successful in art industry. I will leave you with this inspirational qoute from St. Francis of Assisi.

**Adios Amigos, Amigas!!!** **Gracias!!**
