Well folks, it's just about time for us to announce the winners of our 2022 Years End Render Contest!
As always you all gave the judges a LOT of work to do, but it's work we all love so it really doesn't feel like "work" afterall.
Now, for those 2 or 3 of you who actually read the silly judging blurbs each contest, The end of 2022 marked the return of the dreaded "HR" department, we honestly though we defeated them way back when, but someone through a shoddy rehire / non vetting process they are back again (but hopefully not for too long lol)
So... The judges were treated nice and fair, zero torture was done to any of them, the food and lodging was on par with most buisness class trips, and from what we can tell (so far) none of our wonderful judges require any (extra) therapy from their time as judges... I know, I know, if you think NOT reading about their tortue is bad, try being the one NOT getting to torture them in the first place, bare with us though, we have another contest coming around the corner and we're thiiiiiiis close to getting rid of the pesky HR department (hopefully for good this time!)
Anyway, enough of this mindless dribble, because we are now ready to announce to you your winners....
