First things first, very well done to all five Challengers for completing and sharing your projects. I hope all five of you are proud of what you have created and I want to say straight away that everyone will be receiving the Finisher prize, it is well-deserved.
We will do a quick recap of the competition and the prizes as always. Then, although it is always hard to choose the winners, we will get straight into who has won.
The Competition
