Pierre @Pierre--- you got lucky this year again... I'll be back!

Totally agree with Darrin, the entries this year were a notch above the previous years, and 10 entries made an even better contest! Thank you all and special thanks to Darrin the master of ceremony.

Thanks Fred.

We had a few hiccups as organizers, but each mistake makes the contest better. Everyone put in a lot of effort.
I'm already looking forward to running it again next year.

So everyone start planning your entry now.

And please don't show it anywhere before hand. We had a young maker that couldn't enter because of Instagram. I'd have loved to see his work here.

Thank you gentlemen for your vote, and a special thanks to Darrin. Fred, I do hope you will be back next year! Maybe the clip was what made the difference, let's all work on it...

Could be that the clip was the key. In my case I think I ended up with, to paraphrase Ansel Adams, a sharp image of a fuzzy concept I wasn't sure how much time I would have to get an entry finished, so I started early and "safe", then more time freed up, so I decided to add the ink window... and that didn't really work out in the end. No doubt a well-deserved win for your entry, no need for a recount

Thank you all for for your votes. I'm open to feedback. I was pen #2 what would you add or change to give it your vote?

I could give you some pointers as to why your entry didn't fare better. But really when it comes to "kitless" you should be doing what pleases you (and eventually your customers) and not what appeals to the IAP eclectic crowd.
