Again, thank you all for participating in this contest, it was fun and maybe I'll do another one, either during/around Halloween/October or maybe next year.

Grats to the winners!

Congrats to all who participated

This definitely brought out some creative concepts and approaches; it was great to see what people came up with!

Honestly, I'm still shocked that I won. There just were better stories in the pack but I'm grateful. Though, I have to wonder if any of the judges translated the hexcode. I guess I may never find out. :3

Congrats to the winners! It was fun joining it, despite realising later on I missed the word cap
