May this coming year bring to y'all joy, prosperity and health!

Thank you for your participation guys. Regardless of the fact that not everyone can win, all of you deserve a huge round of applause for trying.

And now to the...

Honorable Mentions: (in no particular order)

Since Gem is the judge today, (I presume you know her, amen) there are three honorable mentions this time around! Everybody please praise Hafsah's generosity and open-heartedness!

The 'redness' of this graphic is what caught my eye. The placement of the cover on the template and the alignment here is good but I think you should have faded the background a bit to make the mock-up more attention grabbing.

The model used in your cover is epic. What I like most about your graphic is that it feels like you didn't do much yet it looks beautiful! However, I suggest you choose your template for the mock-up wisely next time.

The sci-fi approach of yours is pretty cool and I appreciate that you took our demands into consideration and fixed your graphic for us.

Congratulations Pennywithaney , SamRobinsson and shadowsleek for winning one honest comment each by a society member.

Third Place:

Your graphic could have placed higher if you didn't make the mock-up that small. The robot is what is attracting our attention more to itself and the ribbon isn't helping either. Nevertheless, I loved the steam punk theme of yours.

Congratulations deviation- for winning three honest comments from a society member.

Second Place:

The simplicity of your graphic killed me! The cover you chose is too cute! And the mug of coffee *craves for coffee* is the icing on the cake for me. The shadow of the book on the bench (or table) is a nice detail you added.

Congratulations bradford_bad_gurl1 for winning five honest comments from a member of the society.

First Place:

Can we all just take a moment to admire this beauty right here!? The color scheme, the placement and alignment, the cover, in short everything, is just to the point! And I love how you added the logos to make it look like an advertisement. You didn't do anything over the top and yet you managed to make it look amazing! Only a guru like you can do this!! *bows in front of you*

Congratulations eosophobic for winning seven honest comments from a member of the society!

And that wrap things up!
Stay safe and happy!

Gem out.
