It was extremely hard for us to find the winners because all of you really did a good job and we know that every singe of you put in a lot of effort. I am awfully sorry that we could only choose two winners :(. I hope even though you didn't win this contest, you wouldn't feel too disappointed...!
To be honest I am glad that I didn't have to do the judging alone, because I am by no means an expert at bento making or the food arena in general. We, judges, didn't always agree with our choices of the winners ;), but in the end we just had to find the two winners...
And the winners are.........

Congratulations! These entries were absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad Yunita won, too! I loved her bento. Congratulations to all! :3
ReplyDeleteI noticed that a lot of participants used over 70% protein in their bentos... it makes the bentos look more tasty, but I hope that next time, IF another contest is held again in the future, the bentos will be more healthily balanced. It would be inspiring to see.
Again, congratulations to the winners!
