I am pleased to announce the works that have been selected this month
from among the many entries submitted to the Fellowship. As a note to
submitters, please read HELP CONTESTS and send us graphic and written
work only in the formats we ask for. When you do not, it slows down the
judging process significantly. Thank you, and on to the results...
