The Envelope, Please

It’s August 1st, time to announce the win­ner of the Candy Heart ARC Con­test. The win­ner will receive both a signed copy of the ARC of Soul Enchi­lada and a 1:18 scale model of a 1958 Cadil­lac Biar­ritz (it’s big­ger than it looks in the pic).

In all there were 25 excel­lent entries. The Teen Judges Three had a dif­fi­cult task choos­ing just one heart to receive the prizes. Past mem­bers of award com­mit­tees would admire the very seri­ous way they went about the task of vet­ting the choices and then going behind closed doors to come to con­sen­sus about one heart.

Here are their com­ments about the win­ning entry:
“Con­grats! I think your candy heart is amus­ing and cre­ative. It took awhile to decide on the win­ning candy heart though. I enjoyed many of them.“
–Judge D.

Con­grat­u­la­tions!!!!! I loved your candy heart. I thought it was clever and amus­ing. I really enjoyed read­ing all of them, even the ones that didn’t win. It took awhile of debat­ing back and forth and reread­ing to decide on the win­ner.
–Judge C. #1

Ohmigosh, I love your candy heart. It was very cre­ative and hilar­i­ous. I cracked up the first time I read it. I debated another heart but yours caught my atten­tion. We decided on the Best!!“
–Judge C. #2

The enve­lope please.
Riiip.

The win­ning heart is:
