The other Runner Ups should be incredibly proud of their work. So many amazing submissions that you all clearly spent time and effort on. Your ability to sow both joy and chaos is unprecedented. Please continue put this energy out into the world.

*Please review rules 12 and 14

Some of our favorites were the medium-sized medium, the Nikola Tesla musical, caffeine painting, horror nursery rhyme, published Op-Ed, knitted sweater, and the installed signage on an elephant path. Outstanding work!

Goatzilla smashed into 2025 with incredible work that seriously impressed all of the judges - so much artistic talent, creative video editing, and going the extra step to see what can make an item stand out.

Circus Noir wins just 35 points ahead of the next team. Their creative approach earned them bonus points on a number of their Altruism items. We loved their chalk affirmation, appreciated their contribution to No Decisions Without Us, & were impressed by their incredible fundraising work for APOPO.

In a Rogue first, Goatzilla scored the top points in both categories, but as they can only win one prize per year* the Altruist prize is passed on to second place. However, since Funky Ruckus won this category in 2024* they are also ineligible for the prize.

Our runner's up in this category also impressed us with their photography / staging, artistry, honesty, silliness, and ability to spread spontaneous joy to the community.

Team Who's Fork is This? showed incredible staging, photography, attention to detail, creativity & making connections. We also loved that the pieces for the Cyrus Kabiru item were scavenged from a field near an abandoned plant.

This year's winner is not for one specific item, but for a person/team with a number of incredible submissions. Whose Fork is This? had multiple items in our top contenders. Rather than picking one above the others, we are awarding the judge's prize for the collective impact of these submissions.

Congrats also to Panty Passers (the fact that this math works blows our mind) and Goatzilla (Your costuming, acting, and editing for this is wonderful!)
