EtaewThanks for participating in the Gardening (Spring) Art Contest that 
Evilagician hosted. There were a large number of entries and several new faces we are happy to welcome to our community.
We have the results ready from our guest judges this contest is 
Meowser from the Trove Team and Kiwibird, formerly from the Trove Team, who have been asked to select a mix of established and newer artists.
As for rewards we are currently transitioning our reward policy away from a reward everyone mentality as that required us to exclude a few lower quality entries and I felt that it was too disheartening to newer and younger members to have to set notes telling them of this. For now we will increase the amount of highlights and ask the judges to be mindful of new and original entries.
But it isn't just about what we think, tell the artists themselves if you like something they have done.
