Thank you to all entrants to the 2nd Wacom Holiday Season Contest!

Congratulations to Lui and M@rlon Rose from the Philippines, and Brian Li all the way from Mauritius for winning the Grand Prize, the Inspirational Moment Award and the Barrel of Laughs Award in the 2nd Wacom Holiday Season Contest. The superb entries for this contest spanned a huge range of styles and choosing just a few to win was incredibly difficult. We'd like to thank all those who participated in the contest for your hard work and beautiful art!

Nominees were first selected by a committee based on artistic merit, impact and relevance to the various categories, then voted on by not one but twenty judges throughout the Asia Pacific region to avoid bias toward any one country or artistic style.

The Grand Prize of The Wacom Holiday Season Contest 2007

Title:	Young girl selling "Parols"
Winner:	lui
Country:	Philippines

Comment from Winner:
This commemorative stained-glass styled work is about how Christmas has a mysterious way of making us all smile no matter who we are or what we do. It doesn't matter if you're young or old, rich or poor, our hearts still feel the warm and joyous feeling it brings!

Comments from Wacom:
Lui's Grand Prize-winning "Young girl selling ‘Parols'" surprised our judges with its original approach imitating stained glass art so often found in churches and cathedrals. For those of you not from the Philippines, parols are traditional Christmas lanterns in the shape of a star hung during the holiday season in Lui's home country.

Comments from Wacom:
M@rlon Rose's animated GIF, "Building Together", captured our attention with its flashing lights and then captured our hearts with its expression of teamwork, family, togetherness. What more can we say? Nothing is as inspiring as that moment when all we have work for together is achieved.

Comment from Winner:
After a long night distributing gifts, Santa takes a well-deserved vacation.

Living in a multi-cultural country provides the opportunity to experience many different festivals, but christmas and new year holidays is the only time when we all unite to celebrate and have fun

What a Barrel of Laughs this painting is! Santa? Water-skiing? But we all need a break sometime, and a good chuckle is just what the doctor ordered.
