We want to especially thank an elite core of Odyssey II writers:
Those deviants truly embodying the spirit of the project by continuing to create and submit next chapters – no matter the story’s refusal to go along with their proposed direction.

So many artists and writers continue to send in wonderful material week after week.

I wonder who got to the finals? >_<

*Mego-Sama-Lady-Sir Nov 11, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

Aww what a bummer the buttons are gone ):

*Porcelainette Nov 10, 2012 Professional Traditional Artist

Good job everyone! I wish I could have won, but there will be other contests! I'm so excited for you guys! <3

~orkitekt Nov 8, 2012 Professional Artist

Which was the rule, that the buttons diorama violated?

~orkitekt Nov 10, 2012 Professional Artist

Inner Juxtaposition of Memory or the so called Buttons diorama was constructed from ordinary white cardboard for the walls and glass screens for the buttons support. The glass is 4mm thick (or 0.15748 inches) . It was specially ordered and designed for 3 days in ESPEHO Glass Company in Sofia, Bulgaria. The glass screens are strong enough to play their main role: be the spine that tightens the composition into a whole immovable solid organism: [link]

This work can fly and reach each point of the world whole and unhurt.

~ninefouronesix Nov 9, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I think it was the glass, it wasn't safe for shipping??? Or maybe it (the glass) wasn't made by you.

A post from Moonbeam13 on the contest article:
"Our official rules state that the entry must be a diorama in a shoebox or in a box of the dimensions of a shoebox as specified in the Construction Guidelines. Cardboard, as stated in the Construction Guidelines, refers to a material that has the properties of cardboard -- i.e., something that's lightweight and malleable yet stiff. The rules state that we accept any shoebox, even if not cardboard. We presented cardboard as a logical and relatively affordable option in the guidelines, however, we did state that all items used in the Work may originate in any medium provided the medium is safe for international transportation through the mails. After conferring with the judges, the only entry of concern involves the use of glass and we will be selecting a backup to take it's place. Thank you for your concern and feedback, this is exactly why we post semi-finalists to help us catch anything we may have missed during the gruelling task of judging"

*juliedillon Nov 9, 2012

You mean, they didn't even give you an explanation for why they pulled it? That is kind of cold. :/
