@Aleksey Hi! All the contest entries were reviewed first without regard to subscriber status, the ones that were selected actually all turned out to be subscribers. A couple of the winning entrants did not get emails either 
There were so many great images, it was so hard to choose! Hope that helps clarify!

@animatosoor I love this--the style is unique and I love the mermaids marching into town. Your colors are stunning also.
@Susan-Marks Thank you so much, Susan; I really appreciate that. 
Just want to echo @Aleksey, thank you so much @LisaF for going through all the chaos to support this community.
@nadyart So beautiful and inspiring!
@LisaF Thank you for all the work you obviously put in on this! It sounds like it was a major headache! I think we’d all LOVE to have more critiques from the guys, whether they are live or not. It would really help us see our blond spots & where we need to improve! Thanks again!
@Norman-Morana I realize this is from a year ago, but just had to say this is fantastic - the world of it, the style, the story, that cat shadow!!
