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 859 out of a possible 972 points:


Team Romance!





Congratulations to our 2007 Snarry Art Games Gold Medal Winners!

And our SILVER MEDAL WINNERS, with a total of 845 out of a possible 972 points:

More Closing Games art for you from a current champion, and previous Gold Medal Winner, pinch hitter extraordinaire, all around hardest working artist in fandom - Glockgal! Voting ends in less than TWO DAYS!


Title: Storeroom for the Damaged, Easter Egg/bonus/director's commentary art (See actual submission for voting here: Storeroom for the Damaged
Artist: glockgal (Glockgal's 2007 Interview Here.)
Rating/Warnings/Kinks: NWS.
Artist's Notes: This was for 'Storeroom for the Damaged' and it was the original of Harry's dream sequences. However, it was simply too romantic and not enough angsty, so Dacro suggested I switch out the rather-cute Harry reading to blind!Snape and sub in the much-angsty scene of Harry captured by blind!Snape. And I happily complied. So, yes! Here's the original version!

Artwork is based on dacro's snarry_games Team Wartime 2007 Gold Medal fiction When the Soul Goes Hungry.

Archiving/Usage permission, including the Tribute Video (only after the polls have closed and medals have been awarded): Yarrrrrr

For one of our Closing Games ceremonies, we have a special treat from jin_fenghuang, who had provided us with close ups of her Team Angst entry Cockroach Clusters, Please. Unfortunately, technical difficulties prevented these from being added to her entry, so she graciously allowed us to postpone them until now. There is still time to vote on this, and every entry, as the polls don't shut down until the weekend.

So, without further ado, please enjoy the lovely art of jin_fenghuang!

Title: two years
Artist: glockgal
Team: Team Angst, woo! I mean, wahhhh!
Email: glockgal at gmail
Genre(s): Fanon and Crack/Humour
Rating/Warnings/Kinks: G; blatant overestimation of Harry's talent, which makes him very angsty.
Artist's Notes: Billions of thanks to djin7 for letting me pinch hit. Yay to snarry_games! It has to do with no particular story. I was all proud and thought it was my original idea only to find out from the mods that someone had already thought of it (and probably much better thought out). Oh fandom! Never stop being so awesomely hivemind. Mod note: This is a pinch hit for nefyr, who was unable to compete in the Games.
Media used: Pencil & photoshop for the touch-ups

Team: Angst
Genre(s): Canon & Wartime
Rating/Warnings/Kinks: G , spoilers for DH, obviously.
Artist's Notes: Late submission because I am a dork who confused the dates of several different things. Major thanks and apologies to the mods! Yes, Snape is dead. I had originally planned on making him much more ghosty-looking... but when I tried it, you just couldn't see him at all. So he looks all nice and solid here. The quote is from a Lois McMaster Bujold book, I believe.
