ANNOUNCEMENT: winner of Banner-Strike contest

The winner of the "Banner-Strike" contest was "Peace of Cake"
by Pau Waelder.

Honorable mentions go to KRN and Michael Szpakowski.

"Banner-Strike" was a joint contest held by the Banner Art Colelctive
and Opensorcery.net's Velvet Strike project. It was a contest for
digital graffiti and net.art that was created under specific
limitations and which critically examined the war in Iraq. As the
winner, Pau will receive a copy of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero when
it is released in October. His banner will be featured at the top
of bannerart.org for one month. The 34 entries for the contest will be
turned into sprays for Counter-Strike and added to the Velvet-Strike
collection.

We would like to thank all the artists that participated in the contest.
Additionally, special thanks goes to Joan Leandre for helping judge the
competition.

Best,
Brandon Barr and Garrett Lynch
Banner Art Collective
