Fairies and Fantasy 2010 Art Awards Competition Results!
Every year at www.fairiesandfantasy.com I hold an art competition. Each year there is a theme, and the 2010 theme was “Under the Sea”, for which entries have now closed and I’ve made my decisions on the winners! As you can see it was a very difficult decision to choose, and above you can see the winner, 2nd place (there were no entrants under the age of 15, so that prize became a generic 2nd place prize!), and a number of other honourable mentions!
The winner of first prize this year goes to Lauren Small for her beautiful black and white portrait of a mermaid. I might be biased, I do love my graphite artworks, but this artwork took the prize not only for the look and quality of the work, but the sheer amount of detail and creativity of the piece. Congratulations Lauren! You can see more of Lauren’s work and find out about her at her website- www.gingerkellystudio.com Beautiful work!
Second prize goes to Brooke Gillette for her charming digital artwork. See more of Brooke’s artworks on her site- http://shadowbrooke.yolasite.com/
Thanks to all entrants! I will be deciding a theme for next years competition and posting it very shortly at http://www.fairiesandfantasy.com/pages/competition.php and the cash prizes will soon be on their way to the winners.

With all your talent and all that you do, it is wonderful to see you help promote other artists and give them another forum for their work. I am sure it means so much to them for such an accomplished artist as yourself to give them that opportunity. To me, it just solidifies my faith in you, as a person and an artist. With all you that you do and all that you’ve been through you truly have earned your faerie wings!!! Many blessings to you.
