And the Winners Are… #DreamYABooks Art Contest

So, Betsy Streeter and I recently ran an art competition, inspired by our books… the prizes? Ebook copies of our books.

All people had to do enter was create a piece of artwork, inspired by a dream they’d had or a future ambition. Why dreams? Because dreams are so important in both Betsy’s books and mine.

Betsy and I both love art, and we were intrigued to see what people would come up with… We offered prizes for four categories, and we’re so excited to announce who the winners are!

CATEGORY: THE MOST ATMOSPHERIC DREAM ART*

Winner: Susan Zangara

*Originally, this category was for the creepiest dream art–however, when we began reviewing entries we realised that there weren’t any that were creepy. So we renamed this category to most atmospheric dream art.


CATEGORY: THE MOST CREATIVE DREAM ART

Winner: Teresa Lanz–how creative is this cross-stitch?
