And that concludes the event. Thank you all for the many wonderful entries.

However there are a few which don't deserve such praise. I'll be going over the invalid entries and give them 1-2 line explanation to their rejection. Personally I don't mind people using images from Google/Deviantart and incorporating them into their submission, infact some of which are very well done. I gave everyone freedom to edit/submit in any format, hence I'll be strict against those who did not even try to polish out their submissions.

The following entries are disqualified through my screening:
Makerpeace

Both users share the same IP and have high suspicions of same user entry. As stated by the rules, limited one entry per account. Additionally the submissions are simply screenshot+pasted image on top, no attempt for creativity.

Both users share the same IP and have suspicions of same user entry. As stated by the rules, limited one entry per account. jumich's submissiom: noticeable image cropping/border issues.

Nice attempt for humour. 1st image simply taken off a website. 2nd image, no original attempt with the exception of simple text layer.

The submission is evidently straight copying/pasting images on top, or noticeable image cropping/border issues.

Although there are some others which are borderline, I've let some pass since their entries doesn't stand out as obvious.
