Results are here for the Sword Master 2023 Colouring Competition! This page features the winning entries (plus 2nd, 3rd and runners-up). Find out if you are a winner here.
There were some amazing entries this year. Congratulations to everyone who entered! It was very difficult to pick a winner with such good artworks. But there can only be one winner for each category.
Note: There were no entries in Category 3, and only my siblings entering in Category 2, so there will only be Category 1’s announcements.
1st Place:

Micah.
Judges commented that they “loved the colours, great shading and the light reflection from the moon on the buildings is cool” and the “lighting/shading/use of colour”. I like the level of detail used for highlights, shadows and the background.
2nd Place:

Stephanie.
Judges commented on the neatness of this artwork. I personally liked the way the background had greyer tones to allow Sword Master to really stand out in the foreground.
3rd Place:

Kirsten.
Judges commented on the “neat and cool shading effects” and how they loved the “different interpretation”. I think the sunset/lighter scene looks great!
Runners-up:

Violet.
A judge’s comment on this one was: “love the use of lighting from the moon on the buildings”. I find the yellow behind Sword Master adds an eye catching kind of contrast to the image.

Noah.
Although this entry didn’t receive any specific comments from the judges, I loved it. The lighting has a really interesting effect, particularly with the choice of colours on the buildings in the background.
Conclusion:
Everyone did so well in this competition. All the judges told me it was incredibly difficult to choose a specific winner. Every artwork had its own strengths… everyone’s a winner in my opinion!
