Welcome to Unframed-Nature's BIG CONTEST RESULTS for: "EARTH DAY- EARTH'S WONDERS OF WATER" We had nearly 50 incredibly brilliant entries pertaining to WATER, and more specifically, the environmental issues that concern our planet, with regard to the various problems all living creatures face pertaining to this essential resource and life force.
The entry was supposed to depict water, in some way and medium,
BUT with an obvious connection to an environment message about water, and if the
connection was not necessarily obvious,
there was supposed to be a special message about water from the artist, stated IN the Artist's Comments. Most of our judges were pretty strict about this rule... while quality of submission was certainly important, it was more essential that there was a message about the importance of water or some sort of educational statement somewhere in the Artist's Comments, as stated in the rules, and our judges on the whole did not give up on the purpose and intent of this contest!
It was definitely not easy, in the least, and our group commends them GREATLY for their time and huge efforts, in this enormous endeavor!!
And PLEASE, believe me when I say, our AWESOME Administrative Team also worked very very hard on this Contest!!
There's a lot I can say about what went into what their efforts involved, too.
Without further ado, here are the contest results...

Weeds of HumanityThere was a town deep in the woods, far from every other cities and villages of the world. They were always happy and satisfied with the things they had. The town was built around a big field where the community together could raise plants they needed. Each year when the time comes, the villagers went to the filed, worked on, and at harvest time, all of them took only the amount they really needed.
But the time passed, and once at harvest time a greedy man took more than he would have needed. The villagers didn't take it bad, they forgave and behave as nothing would happen. This behavior also wasn't a good example to the other people... Next year, that man repeated the same mistake. So than some people said "How is this possible? We work for only what we need, and then the other takes the fruit of our work too? What about us? About our wealth and survivor?" - So this way, other people started to take more and more for themselves too.
Next year, the half of the village lived happ

:iconearthplz: About Earth Day, And How It Relates To This Contest :iconearthplz:
Earth Day is a Global Holiday which began in 1970!
This year in 2014, this international celebration which aims to promote awareness, education, and action in order to help preserve and protect our Nature on Earth, falls on Tuesday, April 22nd!
Our Group has been expanding for over a year now, via several types of efforts, in an attempt to reflect that not only do we love and enjoy the beauty of Nature, but that we also care about protecting and preserving it, and would like to seek ways to join with others to do so, and learn about and create better ideas for this!
There are so many environmental issues, which do, in fact, adversely affect Earth, our common home.
Sometimes, it can seem over
Please, be patient, in order to give plenty of time to notify
ALL of these prize-givers, and THEN, for each of these generous prize-givers to deliver their various prizes and features.
THEN, enjoy, as these prizes begin to "roll in"!
THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL OF OUR PRIZE-GIVERS, for your KIND GENEROSITY!We ALSO appreciate ALL who PROMOTED our Contest, as well!
:
EIGHT Honourable Mentions We had a few other entries, which also had high voting scores from the judges, enough
to justify sharing a section of Honourable Mentions. They also exhibited strong messages about water!
These may not have been promised the prizes or features,
which are due to the top eight winners, but of course they are featured right HERE, and they will ALSO
be moved to the Featured Folder, which means eventually they will be
'd by our POINTS ACCOUNT:
Unframed-Nature-PTS 
AND, additionally we will give each one a tiny amount of points, 5
each from
Unframed-Nature-PTS.
In No Particular Order...
