You guys are amazing! The quality of the entries was nothing short of impressive. I was pleasantly surprised with the number of deviants who took a serious and productive approach to tackling their complaints! Quite a few entries were teams working together to make deviantART a better place.
I had a bunch of really great entries, and I had a difficult time not featuring more like six of these. After some serious thought, I narrowed it down to two that I believe stood out from all the awesome (which is tough to do when everything is already wonderful).
Spotlight Winners!
Both of these entries tackle community complaints in a big way and are already smashing success stories. In alphabetical order:
Finally, it's a group that takes you on a guided tour through the literature community! Follow the yellow dot through knowledgeable articles to help you discover the community and give you a starting point for the exposure you've wanted but couldn't quite achieve.

Random Prize Winners
Anyone who participated on an entry had their name added to a drawing for random prizes. These prizes are for individual participants for stepping up and do not need to be shared by team mates. Also, names were added once per entry, so multiple wins are likely with some people having 3 entries.

In Closing
Hopefully participants and watchers took away more than a contest entry from this event. I hope deviants realize that being proactive is not only productive, but also a lot of fun. You can work toward solutions for your complaints. You can be successful in making this community a better place.
The entries will have a lasting impact on the community and that is the better than any prize. Which is why I intend to repeat it! I'm considering semi-annually, but perhaps it will be annually. Keep any eye out for it in the future.
In the mean time, take a peek at all the other wonderful entries submitted: [link]Thank you for being a wonderful community,
