Review
Another strong field of entries this year meant voting was very close in each of the categories – all second-placed artworks were within two votes of the winner. A total of almost 200 votes were cast across the three categories, with 123 people voting in the Newcomers poll.
The Blockdown Party art contest home page containing all the runners and riders can be found here. Alternatively, a more detailed (and rambling) video review of all Blockdown Party artworks can be found here.
Winners
Newcomers category: ‘Monolith’ by Blippypixel (see results)
