Illustrations in WotF XXIV
Every illustration is strong. There is not a one in the 13 that couldn't be awarded the Grand Prize (well, maybe mine, but when have I ever been modest about my work? Mine included!). However, I won't be preparing a second acceptance speech. There are just too many good (excellent, outstanding) illustrations. I will be happy for whomever wins. And, like I've said, none one can ever take away the fact that I was the first to win both contests.
As one of the illustrators commented as we reviewed the art before the writers showed up: "They should just distribute the prize money equally to all of us."
Or they should just give us each $5k....
Ha...
All of the writers were overjoyed. I suspect the level of the stories may be on par with the illustrations. The contest has gotten better and better entries over the years. I can't wait to read the stories, but that will have to wait until I get back to Eugene.
The BBQ starts inh a few minutes, so I'm off...
