After an extensive judging process (because the amount of entries and the quality of all of them were insane), we were able to narrow it down to two winners. We split the challenge into an adult, and a kid section due to how many entries from younger viewers we had. On the left we have Skylar (AllegroSky) and on the right we have Kara! Congratulations to both of our winners. We also want to give an honourable mention to Armiyana who made the judging of our Adult portion extremely difficult.

The rest of our extensive list of entrants are below!
