First, some unpleasant news. Drufyre and Eystillia (and their alts who
benefited from their prizes) have been turned to shrubbery for
submitting plagiarized works to the contest. Think twice before you
attempt to steal someone's artistic work for your own benefit. It will
not be tolerated.

And now, the winners. The quality of the bardic contest submissions has
improved greatly in the last few months, making this a very difficult
contest to judge.
