Winners of the October art contest!

It was such a treat to check out all the entries for our October art contest!🍬🍭

The prompt was: Everyone was having a great time at the Halloween feast until...😱 This one came to us from Will Terry, to help us get into the spirit of Halloween!

Our contestants came up with some really fun takes on the Halloween feast gone wrong! The feast was foiled by everything from ghostly guests, to a plate of kale and yes, even Santa Claus🎅 A big thank you to all who submitted!

The winners were picked during Critique Arena, our monthly live event for members. Our judges seeded the top 16 against each other, and the audience voted for their faves. Sixteen battled it out in the arena, but only 2 made the final cut!

You can experience all the drama in the recording of the event, which will be released soon. But in the meantime here are the two winning entries:

Winner! Art by Kim Pierson.

Winner! Art by Kim Pierson.

Winner! Art by Marek Halko.

Winner! Art by Marek Halko.


It’s worth noting that Kim is a first-time winner, and Marek is a two-time winner! Way to go!

And here are the rest of the entries that made the top 16 (it’s so hard to just pick 16!!😅):


Thanks again to everyone who entered the contest! High fives to you all!

Be sure to enter our November art contest for a chance to win a live art critique ✨ If you haven’t entered one of our contests before, this would be a good one to go for, because the top winners from 2020 will NOT be part of the competition! They will be judged separately, so you have a better chance of making the top 16😄

Since 2020 has been so crazy, the prompt this time is: Together.

See you next time in the arena…the Critique Arena!
