Today we recognize the hard-won achievement and dedication of artists and their teams who strive for excellence in fanart and Snarry. I know that every Champion worked hard for the good of their team and they all deserve highest marks for their efforts. We were all lucky to have won something during these Games.

However, in the competition we set out to do, the Snarry Games Judges (you, the readers) have voted to score these teams, both having shown up to these Games with the most stellar of performances, allowing one to edge out the other for Gold.

Ladies and gentlemen, our GOLD MEDAL WINNERS, with a total of 606 out of a possible 675 points:




Team Dragon!





Congratulations to our 2008 Snarry Art Games Gold Medal Winners!

The Games gave me a great excuse to do just that! Huge thanks to glockgal for being my biggest cheerleader on our team, my other Dragon teammates for their very useful suggestions, and the amazing joanwilder for writing a story that touched me immensely and for letting me pick her brain so much on the details that I'm amazed I didn't give her a migraine.
