Greetings to everyone,

We are pleased to announce the results of the first Quarterly Arts contest of 2014. And, due to the interest shown, we will be continuing on with the contest. Please keep your eyes open for another announce post with the theme for this next Quarterly, and do remember it is a month shorter due to not wanting to overlap with the ToA.

For this first quarterly contest, we've decided to award a prize for everybody who submitted a piece, as a sign of our appreciation for your hard work in helping us make these contests a regular fixture. In future contests, we will only be rewarding the three works in each category.
