We had such a great response for the New Baby Character competition and it was a real delight to look through the entries and see the wonderful and varied characters you had created. The quality of illustrations and mediums explored was really impressive so well done guys and we hope you enjoyed it.
We are thrilled to announce that the winning entry, as shown above is by English Muffin and was selected as the characters were well developed and thought out and presented in quirky detail.
The judges particularly loved the baby whale shooting out above the water and the heart shaped water shoot of Daddy whale. Wonderful and very commercial and adaptable for both a boy and a girl - well done English Muffin.
The following entries were selected as runners up:

The elephant theme was a very popular choice among the entries we received but this particular design offered a very fresh approach. Great detail paid to the textures which complimented the illustration style.
The design is very commercial and could be adapted for both a boy and a girl.
By Maddie
A wonderful combination of popular characters and a really nice illustration style, well done.
By Hilbooboo
A really nice family of characters here and the illustration style is very fresh and appealing to the customer.

A very cute and versatile character here, illustrated particularly well and the placement of the caption is very well thought out and sits well with the character. The only change we would make would be the caption which does not sit so well with New Baby but lovely character development.
Congratulation's to our winners and runners up and a huge thank you to everyone who entered. We truly enjoyed looking through your entries and we hope that you gained something from entering and also seeing every-ones concepts. We do hope you will take a peek and enter the next competition which is Christmas 2010 Surface Pattern Design. A challenge when the sun is out but we look forward to receiving your festive delights!
P.S got a great idea for a competition brief, email Vic at vlem2@hallmark-uk.com as we are always eager for feedback.
