Grand Prize
"The Hindenberry" by Lori Walls, Peter Starrs
and John Garibaldi
| The German airship Hindenburg, elevated by
hydrogen and carrying a complement of merry-making passengers,
is caught at the moment of its own horrific demise as it passes
inadvertently over a flaming birthday cake, catches fire itself,
and then crashes tragically into a bowl of milk, whereupon the
flames are extinguished. |

|
A kinetic, architectural, multimedia experience constructed of what
appear to be vast quantities of Lucky Charms, Trix, Life, and Grape
Nuts.

2nd Prize
"The Mighty Cthulu," by Sharman Armstrong and Erin
Culley-LaChapelle
According
to H. P. Lovecraft's legend, Cthulu, a large green being with the head
of a giant squid, rests in a tomb in the city of R'lyeh, which sank
beneath the Pacific Ocean eons ago.
Cthulu is dead, but not truly dead, as he and his fellow
inhabitants of R'lyeh sleep the eons away.
From time to time R'lyeh comes to the surface, and Cthulu's
dreams influence sensitive individuals across the globe to depict his
image, slay, and found cults dedicated to him.
In the past R'lyeh has sunk after a short time, but the day will
soon come when it rises to the surface permanently and great Cthulu
strides across a world thrown into chaos and anarchy from his telepathic
sendings.

Note the
birthday cake Cthulhu is bringing to the Skansonia, as well as the
hapless party of doomed boaters who inadvertently cross his path.

3rd Prize
"The Eruption of Vesuvius," by Amber Hintz Himes
An ancient catastrophe of cereal proportions. Eighteen centuries
later, excavations reveal that the buildings of Pompeii and Herculaneum
were constructed mainly of Life, Captain Crunch, Grape Nuts and Rice
Krispies, and that its streets were paved with Corn Flakes.
