The Winners

Castle of Tears
Graham Gidman - Attack Goes Awash
Whether they are tears of joy or tears of sorrow, build a castle that has a prominent water feature. Prominent means important, which means your water feature needs to be important to the castle, whether that is in terms of function, protection, or whatever other reason. The importance of water for your castle will impact judging. There are no size restrictions or requirements for this category.
