Blogtoberfest, day 6 - 2012 Artprize Winners

Accept challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory.

I've been yakking on and on about Artprize for the past couple of weeks and showing you some great, and maybe not so great, pieces of art.  Well, it's come to the end for me until next year, but I have to announce the big winners.  Last evening the top three winners were announced and I'm happy to have seen and loved them all.

Winning 1st Place and $200,000 was Adonna Khare with her Elephants...

There's so many more photos and videos to enjoy of Elephants at this link


2nd Place and winning $75,000 was Song of Lift...


Below is the video I took while I was there for my second time...

And finally winning 3rd Place and $50,000 was an oil painting entitled Rebirth of Spring...

The remaining 7 of the final top ten, will receive $5,000 each.  There were also cash awards handed out by the "art critics".  If you want to read more about this, you can do so here.

So there you have it.  By the way, I voted for Song of Lift.  You really had to be there to appreciate it.  Very moving!
