The entries were judged on Monday, and the winners can now be revealed. 3^rd place goes to Halie Campbell who painted Animal Farm, 2^nd place goes to Odelia Kneiser who painted The Fall of the House of Usher, and 1^st place goes to Natalie Reynolds for her depiction of The Odyssey. Congratulations to all the artists and thank you for lending your talents to this project! – A. Wagner
