Hey there! :) I'm Alyssa Ismael, one of the winners stated there at your post. I was wondering if i could get a copy of the pictures you had during the event. I had been looking forever all over the internet and other resources just to get even a single photo. Maybe the pictures can be published here, then i visit your site again. It would be very much appreciated really. It was my first storytelling competition, and it might be the last, so it was really memorable. Thanks a lot! :)
