Judges' comments
“We felt that this entry was truly inspired by the story of Hansel and Gretel. The attention to detail both inside and out was incredible! We loved the addition of the inside fireplace, skulls and other decorations. Well done – a fantastic creation!”
This was an extraordinarily difficult task to judge. All entries were outstanding, and we thank you all for sending through such special creations. Because of the high calibre of entries, we will be awarding a few special additional prizes. We haven’t quite decided what the prizes will be – but we would love to be able to give some well deserved credit to these following entries.
Congratulations to you all.
