I am happy to report that I’ve been included in the ‘Runner Up’ category. Here is what the judge had to say about my entry -

I have repeated many times that I am kind of anti-jumble. This is the one exception. There is every imaginable shape in here including the Golden Arches. Don’t ask me why it works, but it does. I really like it.

I’ve made it to top 15! My first real entry and I got mentionned. Hurray! Quoting the host of the challenge -

This was an extremely difficult decision. There were so many fine images I couldn’t narrow it to ten. I really enjoyed looking at them all. The top 15 weren’t easy to pick, but the order was crazy difficult. Thank you everyone who participated.-Tiffany

Here is a link to the results.
