Hello hello! We have a final decision on our winner for this years DTA Timid Tides, as well as our 2 runner ups! It was lovely seeing so many entrants and different approaches to this DTA! From stylistic choices to art medium choices, we took our time deliberating over entrants and those we got tied on! We made the choice to hold the tiebreaker to the community against the top 2 pieces, and left the vote open for 48 hours, leaving us with our winner! The winner of the DTA is....
