So, when we announced the competition we knew we’d see some awesome stuff but you guys knocked us for six.

From an adorable 3D model of Sissix to a Rust Bucket tote bag, we were overwhelmed by the talent, the variety and the sheer awesomeness of everything you created.

Basically, you made judging this really really hard. Luckily, we were able to pass that job over to Becky herself! Here’s what she had to say about your entries:

They say writing books is hard, but choosing a winner here was a close second. As somebody who’s spent a lifetime wrapped up in fandom, I see fanart as the hugest compliment, and I’m still blown away by the creativity on display here. Thank you for sharing your talent, effort, and imagination. Every entry made me smile, and you guys made my job incredibly difficult. A huge round of applause to all of you. 

So, without further ado it’s time to announce the winner!

Congratulations @geniusbeee!

You will get a character named after you in Record of a Spaceborn Few, and be among the first in the world to read it. While you wait for your proof to arrive you also get £100 worth of books!

The runners up will also receive Record of a Spaceborn Few proofs and £100 worth of books. Huge congratulations to:
