SHOTDECK RECREATIONS CONTEST 2025
(GRAND PRIZE RUNNER-UP)

🔗For info on my 2022 Grand Prize win, click here.

Despite winning the grand prize in 2022, it still really bothered me that I wasn't able to do the 31 days of recreations challenge that I'd made up for myself. So, out of either stupidity or perseverance, I took it on again (even though I was sure I wouldn't be eligible to win anything).

Unlike last time though, I knew how difficult it was going to be-- and I spent weeks preparing myself for the stress I'd be under. Also, this time, I had my friends Theo and Reece there supporting and pushing me along the way too.

If it wasn't already obvious, I did it-- 31 recreations in 31 days, and to top it off Lawrence Sher (DP, Shotdeck CEO) recognized the effort I put in and named me runner-up for the MVP / Grand Prize award, even though he really didn't have to.
