#23 really nice! The one who sends the message clearly sends a message: "I don't like what you are doing, my money evaporates!"

#22 I like your illustration but we are looking for a bit more expression. The one who sends a postcard feels disavantaged and wants to send a message to the shopaholic. I don't see the message in your illustration.

#18 and #19 your illustrations are very similar to #13 and #14 . We find their drawings stronger in terms of expression.

Oghi: Thank you for your entries. We want a little more variation. We were thinking about the spouse who becomes bankrupt. Or helping the shopaholic point out that there are people in the world who have nothing. We will select multiple winners so it would be nice if there are also entries, with a more serious aproach, like you sent a shopaholic a card because you are really angry at him/her because there are people who have nothing.

Oghi: We like #6 because it shows the offender and the victim. In all other illustrations its only the offender. We would really like it if you can show us the shopaholic and the effect it has on someone close to the shopaholic. Rember that someone sends the shopaholic a greetingcard with a message and the message is...
