Please join me in congratulating all of the winners in Round 1 of the Holiday Fan Art Competition!

Please check out each of the participating boards to see and congratulate each of the winners; as well as see all of the amazing art created if you haven't already. You can find a full list of participating boards in the OP of this thread or by using the holiday fan art competition tag

Round 2 will begin tomorrow with the polls set up on the Info Center board. Please keep an eye out for the Global Announcement once the round commences to ensure you don't miss out on voting. The Graphics Team will also be selecting arts to begin voting for the Round 3 categories over the next few days; with the winners announced in the new year. Please see this post for more information about round 3 including a full list of the categories. All graphics made for the competition are eligible to be chosen for round 3 so if your art didn't win round 1 that doesn't mean you still may not win in round 3 or at least be chosen for it

Thank you again to everyone who has participated and voted. And thank you to everyone here who helped ensure all of the boards had at least one entry. Your time and passion is most appreciated .

All of the arts made were incredible, leaving many (if not everyone) with impossible choices. Often the polls had only a few votes difference between the arts; including a few with only one or two votes difference. A number of winners were only decided in the final hours of voting.

We hope that you had a lot of fun! We look forward to seeing the round 2 and 3 winners, and hope to see everyone participate again next year!
