The Great Fan Art Contest 2002 Winners!
It is not possible to express the regret we feel in not being able to give ALL of the entrants a prize. You would not believe the amount of entries we received this year (Over 500!!!), and the quality of those submissions. I (Calisuri) had many of TheOneRing.net staff email me back during the voting process and say, "I can't narrow it down to three!!!" This, by far, was one of the hardest competitions to judge in the entire history of TheOneRing.net .
All of the fan art submitted for this competition will be posted in our brand new Fan Art gallery to premiere in October 2002! This new and improved gallery will allow you to navigate by subject, title, author and many other options. So if you were wondering why your fan art has not been posted yet, it is because we are doing that major revamp of the system.
Please don't forget to support the sponsors of this competition: Sideshow/Weta Collectibles, Houghton Mifflin, and the generosity of Lawrence Makoare (Lurtz).
So without further delay, here are your 2002 Great Fan Art Contest winners!
