Winners of the New Years Bitcoin Wizard Art Contest

Finally, the contest has come to an end. This has been really fun for me to do–well worth the prize money!

Gapmunky was originally awarded first place, and was sent 1 BTC. It was soon pointed out to me that this is actually a photoshop enhancement of Dron111‘s work, which was used without his permission. I contacted /u/gapmunky and requested the prize money back. /u/gapmunky returned 0.943 BTC. I then reawarded the runner-up, /u/zeedox, the bulk of this (0.9 BTC) and sent 0.046 BTC to the original third place winner, /u/jharsem.

First place (with a 0.943 BTC btc prize) goes to zeedox (1LM5akzSJCaCpYZMrp5CpYvPFnoi9fqGaW):

But holy crap I wish I had more money to give out, because there were so many awesome entries in this contest. Here are the others that absolutely deserve recognition:
