The Honorable Mentions
There were plenty of awesome entries. Some of these were serious contenders for 2nd or 3rd prize. They're all awesome in their own ways.
In no particular order,

For the 2nd Prize
This was likely the hardest one to judge. So many of the pieces of art were so well deserving! But in the end, only one can win each prize.
for the depiction of a dimensional fracture!

I wish I had gotten more entries, but I am really proud of those that did enter, and I think it was a true competition for the winners. It was a very hard decision for myself. It was a lot harder than I expected.
I have avoided saying why each won, as I didn't want to risk offending anyone. Every one of them had their own awesome style though, and artistic representation.
I will be sending the Steem prizes as soon as I post this.
Edit: Okay, the Steem should all be sent out now.
