June 6th was the 20th anniversary of the first @Eddsworld cartoon on Newgrounds. To honor Edd’s legacy and raise money for charity, @BadTwinZ suggested an Eddsworld Charity Art Contest.
In total we raised $1,230 for Young Lives vs Cancer and another $1,230 for prizes!
The art contest portion of the event resulted in 161 Eddsworld fan art entries. BadTwinZ and myself made our own lists and we got feedback from the Eddsworld team as well, with comments on some of their favorites below. We also added an 8th place tier, to squeeze in one more winner.
🏆 1st - $400
“This entry is SO bold and cinematic! We love the colour, the use of negative space, and the mix of old and new references.” -Eddsworld Team
🏆 2nd - $250
🏆 3rd - $200
“The colour in this is particularly striking and makes it stand out from other zombeh-themed entries.” -Eddsworld Team
