❝ Across the lake was a golden pavilion. The princess danced and danced to her heart's content. She wanted to stay forever, but that was not to be. The magic land vanished after the third night. The princess was heartbroken, until she realised she brought some magic back with her. And it was hers to keep forever... ❞

WELCOME!

first of all: thank you to everyone who entered this contest. everybody's entries are so, so beautiful and i feel so honoured that so much time and effort was put into graphics for my silly little stories. by now you guys know how tardy i can be so i will be slowly, but surely, updating all the relevant graphic galleries for each story with your beautiful submissions! again, thank you all so much for participating, i hope you had fun!

⋆˙⟡ CHANGE OF JUDGES: the original judges for this competition were ana ❪ voidmoriarty ❫ and kat  ❪ langdonmel ❫. i brought in len ❪ jackabbots ❫ as an additional judge to assist, and so the three honourable mentions have been chosen by ana, kat, and now len!

⋆˙⟡ MY COMMENTS: for the winning entries i'll be sharing some of my thoughts! this is not intended as critique or feedback; firstly, i only have nice things to say, and secondly, i just wanted to give a little context on what really spoke to me and the other judges!

⋆˙⟡ LAYOUT: some of these entries have a lot of individual parts ❪ covers, logos, et cetera ❫ so to keep to the wattpad 20-image-per-story limit i'll be displaying my favourite part of any given entry. however, this does not mean any given graphic has more merit than another in the same entry... this is just for #Layout reasons!

౨ৎ FIRST PLACE ౨ৎ

LEE ❪ heartsworn ❫

          ⋆˙⟡ so when i saw that i had been tagged in this submission on instagram, my jaw dropped. if i remember correctly kat had messaged me and told me to check my insta so of course i did and there it was. this entry is just... oh my god. incredible. i can only imagine how much time and effort was put into this. lee, you have such a talent, and not only talent, but skill. stepping away from the fact that this gorgeous steveanni art features my darling ship, the way you've rendered their faces to be easily recognisable but still in your own style... as well as the way they look lit from within. i'm absolutely obsessed. thank you so much. congratulations 🤍

౨ৎ SECOND PLACE ౨ৎ

REY ❪ skainatblida ❫

          ⋆˙⟡ in the best way possible we were totally overwhelmed by rey's entry. not just by the sheer number of graphics she submitted 🤣🤣 but the high calibre of every single one. the ones you see above are just some of my favourites, but every single graphic submitted in rey's entry was thoughtful, beautifully made, and perfect for its respective story. you guys know i love a coordinated cover theme, so of course the trio of mcu covers went platinum with me—but the real standout was the dynasty covers which featured some absolutely stunning stained glass window art. stained glass is a massive part of dynasty's visual language, as well as a literal motif within the narrative. rey, you portrayed this so beautifully. it scratches my brain in the exact right way. thank you so much for taking the time to make these gorgeous graphics. congratulations 🤍

GIA ❪ dancefevers ❫

⋆˙⟡ everything gia makes is absolutely insane. the now you see me gifset is one thing, but the steveannika x wildest dreams by taylor swift video is entirely another. i am completely obsessed. the video is seamless, your scene matching ability is INSANE, and i can tell how much love you have for the story and the dynamic just by watching. you know how much i look up to you and your talent, skill, and generosity... thank you so much for taking the time to enter this competition. congratulations 🤍 i love you!
