Their art was very clean and impressed me with

I don't normally enter blogging contests, as I tend to get spammed pretty heavily afterwards, but I felt confident enough in Google's Gmail spam filter to post a paragraph. After completely forgetting about it, I all of the sudden received and email congratulating me on my win. After a minute of little happy dancing with a dose of "squee" added I collected my winnings.
