We started a fan art contest last week that got [turl=http://www.greendayauthority.com/Picture_Vault/thumbnails.php?album=344]over 250 submissions[/turl] in a matter of 5 days. Way more popular than we expected, but thank you all for participating. It was very hard to bring it down to two winners, because there were a ton of really good entries, and amazingly talented folks who took the time to participate.

The first place winner is Valerie (BeachBum on the forum) who sent in this really amazing artwork. She worked over 30 hours on it from the day the contest was announced. She wins an autographed copy of Rock Band. You can see more of her artwork on DeviantART.

Second place is Lidia who sent in this really great illustration of the band playing Rock Band after a show. She'll win an autographed mini Rock Band Poster.

As we mentioned, it was so tough to bring it down to just two. There were some other very amazing entries that we feel deserve prizes just as much. Unfortunately we have a limited number of things to give away. So here are the honorable mentions.
