@whatageek Wow, what a contest man, I was keeping my eyes on this for days. I would have participated if I had my account approved.
Just a suggestion, always reverse search the entries you get coz the nintendo one is not original at all. I don't know the name of the original artist but Participant just added the text (your username) using some free font I guess. Not much of a work. I wouldn't call it an entry. Someone with original art could have used the reward. Winner did a great job :)
