Everyone who participated will receive a Mark2Cure marker. We’re so amazed by the volume of contributions that we’re upgrading the top prize from t-shirt to mug. We’re also sending prizes to the top 3 participants. Mug to the top contributor based on quality and quantity (Aprilwent), and T-shirts to yanggan and skye.
