THANK YOU FOR BEING SO PATIENT WHILE WE DECIDED ON THE RESULTS!! 

note: after debating, we decided that so as long as there was a direct connection between the main focus of the cover and water, we consider it "underwater" 

Without further ado, here are the results: 

honorable mentions: thepiedownthehall

We loved your lighthearted take on the prompt and we liked the simplicity of the cover. Well done! 

third place: -ambedo-

This is so beautiful!! This entry stood out to us, especially with the purple color scheme! We very much like the mysterious aura of the cover! 

second place: zammuard

AHHH this is so pretty! Your choice in colors easily caught our eye and the execution of your ideas are very well done, granting you an unanimous second place! 

first place: victoriarobinson64

This entry was the unanimous first place winner for the round! We loved the overall theme of the cover, and everything works perfectly.

unfortunately, as this is a competition, we have to eliminate people, and it is never easy to do so. for this round, we'll say goodbye to....
