*** Briggs was acquainted with Colin Smith as Colin provided the cover art for his [[podcast]], ''The Benji and Nick Show'', with [[Benji Clifford]].<ref name=":9" /><ref>https://x.com/BenjiandNick/status/1416844269751521281</ref> Briggs explained "there was no personal bias here, except that his artwork was very good". All the judges attached votes independently to the competitions entries - each judge giving entries first, second, third place, and so on - and Colin had the most votes. Briggs didn't see any of the names of those who submitted the artworks and only later discovered it was Colin. He was worried "it would look like a sort of conflict of interest" due to Colin's contributions to ''The Benji and Nick Show'', but [[Steve Berry]] assured him by saying, according to Briggs, "'You know, Nick, you've been doing this for 20 years. The chances of you knowing a fan artist are quite high".<ref name=":9" /> | *** Briggs was acquainted with Colin Smith as Colin provided the cover art for his [[podcast]], ''The Benji and Nick Show'', with [[Benji Clifford]].<ref name=":9" /><ref>https://x.com/BenjiandNick/status/1416844269751521281</ref> Briggs explained "there was no personal bias here, except that his artwork was very good".
