Popular Post Jo Marshall Posted March 27, 2023 Popular Post Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) WINNERS ANNOUNCEMENT This year, we tasked all our artists with representing what they, or their characters, consider to be: "Through Hardship Into the Stars" From the vibrant and mysterious flora to the otherworldly fauna, and the sprawling cityscapes that soar above it all, the possibilities for inspiration are endless. This is your chance to bring to life the fantastical worlds of Star Trek and create something truly out-of-this-world. So fire up your imagination and get ready to take the community by storm with your vision of the future! We have two submission categories: Digital and Non-Digital. Our judges have pondered and deliberated over the beautifully crafted entries submitted for the StarBase 118: Graphic Contest 2023, and we can now reveal the winners are... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Digital Winner Talos Dakora: "Decay" "The world is afflicted by death and decay. But the wise do not grieve, having realized the nature of the world." Absolutely smashing digital image that evoked all the feelings for a ship lost and the wild worlds taking over once more, committing that which once soared through space to the ground. This piece cracked a hole, and no doubt affects every Captain. Our judges had this to say: Quote "A simply breathtaking piece of artwork, really my favourite; very emotive and powerful even removed of any kind of context." "Decay is, hands down, amazing. It has great visual story telling which is something I tend to look for. Your eyes are forced to move around the piece to take the scene in and piece together the story. Over all, this was one of my favourite pieces!" Non-Digital Winner Jovenan: "Rebuilt" "To me, that represents the ideal of determination; of not giving up, no matter how grim and dire the circumstances appear to be; of rising up after being beaten down; and finally, succeeding." Jovenan cinched the top spot for this category with a glimpse through the looking glass, of a colony rebuilding after devastation, and the resilience of a hardy people returning their world from the brink of destruction. Beautifully done! Our judges had this to say: Quote "Your piece shows us an unspoken story in the trek universe, one of perseverance and healing. It is an excellent Star Trek story contained in a single image." All our fantastic entries will be displayed on the contest gallery page, with special features for the winners on our DeviantArt social media. You can find all the entries on our forums here including all the non-competing entries submitted for fun and stretching those creative muscles. Thank you to everyone who participated in the contest this year! Roll on 2024! Edited March 27, 2023 by Jo Marshall 13 1
