Winners of the First Grey is... Fan Contest
After much consideration studying all entries and putting all my emotional struggle of “how the heck am I able to name 3, 6, 17, any number from all these heartfelt submissions” aside, I decided to go with 3 winners that will get the set of 6 books and three runners ups to win 2 books.
It was really really difficult, picking just a few entries and I wish I was able to award more people.
• IT COMES AND GOES IN WAVES by @icklefirsties
An institutionalized Yaldar reflects on his past, Black, and what led him to the life he now leads. Trigger warning for mentions of self harm and suicide.
Comment: I read this and right away I knew it’s a winner.This piece is true, deep and strong. You’ve captured Yaldar’s twisted love so well and with the little I shared about him, I’m surprised how on point the whole fic is. You have a great way with words.
• Happy boys under the trees by @navaria
Comment: This is so warm and full of feelings. And like one of my friends who participated in the selection said; “you can’t go wrong with happy kids under tree shades”. The composition, the trees, the expressions and the colors are pretty and please the eyes.
• Grey is Video by @lottikun
Comment: This is a very well made video with a well thought out concept and good execution. The music which you composed gives a nice positive feeling that go well with the end scene. The art is appealing and the whole video brings all the good feelings to my hearts.
“Hey” said someone behind her. she turned back. There were two people. Fully white dressed short boy and fully black dressed tall boy.
Most Emotional on personal levels.
• As long as you’re by my side. by @haydesio
• Black as a character in a game by @hachiko-art

Thank you to @lucis7 @aminoscribbles and @fafybloom for helping with the selection.
Thank you so much for participating! I have comments for lots of these submissions, which I’ll leave as a personal message for each one.
I hope to run this contest and more ones in the future. There are a few things I’d love to adjust and I need to add a cosplay section!
Again, thank you so very much!
