JUDGES COMMENT
“I felt a special mention must be given to Tops Spar ‘Turn up Epic’ for editing. There are so many worlds in this story, and the editor leads you from one to the other with beautiful precision. It’s smooth and playful and keeps the energy up. The transitions deliver on whimsy and allow you to feel some curiosity instead of delivering too soon.”
