This year’s contest theme was “Roadside”.
The goal of this contest was that each contestant were to create a scene of choice, in which a road is either the central element, or supporting element of the scene.

In the past months we really enjoyed following a number of WIP threads which showed off ideas and general progress.
Finally this all accumulated in 19 final submissions for the contest :)
We were very happy with the level of work submitted, which seems to increase with every contest!

Choosing winners for this contest has never been so hard before!
A score based system was used where every judge gave points for each submission based on their personal rankings.
Scores were added up for every submissions and final rankings were based on their scores accordingly.
There was really stiff competition and that’s all because of the great work you have all done!
