The Gallery
The gallery below shows previews that have been submitted to the competition. It will be updated from time to time whilst the competition is open. When the competition closes winners will also be announced here.
There wasn't much overlap between each our judges top three previews – a wonderful reminder of how everyone has different tastes and how generative art allows us to celebrate that. A clear winner did emerge, with Pixel Pete and Rodo both opting for a striking pseudo-gradient pinwheel effect.
We've decided to award free mints to three runners up, those who were first choice for our three remaining judges. Bruce opted for a spaced monochrome mint showing off the Platonic forms and textured pen. Kylo went with a rosy packed pentagon with Escher-esque dimensions. Tyler selected a chunky, structured piece with hints of contrast colour. Congratulations to all our winners, and a final thank you to our judges and everyone who took part!
