I included the averages for the three place getters as it was *SO* close, my man.

That would've been a tough one to judge. Congrats to all the winners 🤍☕🖤

It was interesting how some pieces really hit home for some judges and not others, but the three place-getters all scored between 9-10 so there was no doubt for those.

Still trying to get a hold of Derseori so I can set up his winnings for the contest, he’s not replying to my pvt msgs on Medium haha?

Haha! A couple of the judges gave yours a very high score, I think being the first entrant was tough as we didn’t know how to score by contrast, but daystar is such a great piece.

I read your pvt msg, I think daystar would be better 🥂.

I am over the moon to hear that multiple of you talented folks scored my crap so high ;)

I guess being first is not very strategic for things like this haha.

If you think Daystar is a better fit, I shant argue. It's an honour, my friend. The work you and the team at Black Coffee are doing is greatly appreciated.
