Wonderful! Delightful! Great! These are but a few of my comments regarding our completion of the judging process and the announcement of the Peggle Art Contest winners!

Yes, folks, it’s true. The Peggle Art Contest is not only over but complete. I and the humans at PopCap pored over dozens of entries, weighed their various qualities, fought fiercely over their suitability and finally, finally, finally came to agreement about who would get what prizes and acclaim.
The winners and entries are available for viewing at http://www.popcap.com/promos/peggleart/. Check ‘em out!
Kudos of the most extraordinary sort are owed to Matt of Derbyshire, UK and Michael of Naperville, IL for their winning entries in the Adult and Kid’s categories respectively. Matt’s envisioning of justice’s strongest defender, the Undercover Unicorn, along with his previously unknown partner Kid Radical, stirred our souls with excitement even as Michael’s fresh and innocent rendering (with some help from his sister Stephanie) of some of the Peggle Masters against a classic level background reaffirmed our faith in art, existence and Peggle greatness
Additional plaudits must be granted to Anthony of Slingerlands, NY, Jessica of Bay City, MI and Brice of Seattle, WA for their strong semi-finalist entries. Anthony’s spooky graveyard image chilled us, Jessica’s frothy concept for a new cakey Peggle Master amused us, while Brice’s daring vision of a 3-dimensional Peggle challenged our very natures. Well done, all!
Coming soon, if I have anything to say about it: a Peggle Nights bonus pack containing levels based on our five finalists!
