Holiday Anime Faire

*We’re pleased to announce the ART CONTEST WINNERS!* AWARD CEREMONY AT 1:30 PM!!!!!
As this is the inaugural year for the art contest, we honestly did not know what to expect.  We received a very good turnout, but not enough to fill each original prize category.  Therefore, Manga Start made the executive decision to adjust the prize category to make the overall contest fair.  We had many fantastic entries, and were impressed with the entire field.

Without further ado, here are our winners…
