Congratulations to the Infected by Art Season 2 Winners
Posted On: 1/24/2014 7:36:00 PMOur Jury Panel completed their selections today and we're thrilled to be able to present to you the winners of the Infected by Art Season 2 competition. The voting for the overall winners at all levels was incredibly close, and that's due in large part to the incredible entries we had during this competition. As you know, with IBA 2 we changed the Certificates of Merit from genre to Art Medium in order to level the playing field with the pieces submitted, and that helped to make the selections all that more difficult this time around.
Without further ado, here are the winners of Infected by Art Season 2.
