The contest gauntlet was laid down ... and once again, the membership rose to the challenge at hand.
A big well done to all who participated in the "Negative Space" contest. Take a bow, people, you deserve it. For your work and creativity behind your entries and submissions, passing word along of the contest to newer/other members, and for assisting one another in defining the contest's concept. Thank you very much for the show of community spirit that is caedes.net. And again, some wonderful imagery will take their respectful and rightful places along side those of the site's past run contests in the contest gallery archives.

And .. (*drumroll*) .. the winners are. Each of the four winners has received a 3-month Cadre membership.

I need to begin by stating the intent of the thread I started was to bring the art & the artists who are in the shadows forward so we can get to know them better. I have never, ever felt in the shadows here (& neither has my art...it told me so:). This all feels extremely awkward and even a bit, no actually a whole lot, uncomfortable for me right now. I am honoring my fellow Caedesians request albeit reluctantly.
