First off, I wanted to apologize for the long delay on presenting the winners.

A lot has happened to me since the start of the year (health and professional aspects) and I got derailed on actually getting the announcements made for this.

With that aside, I present to you the winners of the Christmas Competition 2018, judged by some of the top Blender names in the indurstry. Here we go!

3rd place

Fantastic composition, lighting, and texturing in this render by Michael Berezovsky of Israel. The background could be better, but really awesome nonetheless.

As 3rd place winner, you get the following prizes:

2nd Place

Superb character render by Pawel Somogyi. The hair could be further improved but still great. Who else is the best character for Christmas than Santa himself. :)

As 2nd placer, you get the following prizes:
