Top three submissions were paid out. While we honoured the 1st prize winner, I decided to ultimately use the 2nd prize winner artwork for personal reasons (prefer not to have my face on the artwork). I acknowledge that this should’ve been made clear earlier in the submission guidelines. This will be taken into account to avoid confusion and disappointment in any subsequent competitions. ## Follow Us Twitter - [@wuipod](https://twitter.com/wuipod) Instagram - [@wuipod](https://www.instagram.com/wuipod/) [Content Coming Soon] ---
