I think Murzik would look just a bit better if the 16th note were turned down, rather than up. (Other notes might have to be rearranged a bit, of course.) ETA: That was what made it hard for me. ---

K-3 - One World One God. Between that and Friendship Around the World. Nicely done. (Though in judging this group, I can’t help but think of [this](http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=irule). I’m going to straight to heck…) 4-6 - A New Beginning. - This girl is an amazing artist for one so young. Let’s Heal the Planet was a sorta-close second. Reminds me of the GLOW flash games. 7-9 - Stop to Smell the Flowers. No real competition here, though Let’s Put Things In Perspective was kinda cool. 10-12 - Mursik. Hands down. Lots of good entries, but that one takes it by virtue of sheer creativity. ---

Anyone else notice that region 6 has been pulled from gr 10-12? I think I voted for that one… it wasn’t in color, and had an owl whose eyes made up Google’s o’s. Can anyone dig up info about that one? ---

Wait, nm, that was in grades 7-9. But the other one is still pulled. Was it there in the first place?
