- 2nd ($50K, @JSFILMZ0412): a self-written ending to The Odyssey, an older Odysseus hoping to watch the next generation grow.
- 3rd ($25K, @MrAllenT): Polyphemus reimagined as pure horror, with the full shot-by-shot creation workflow shared publicly.
- Honorable mention ($10K, @alx): a frog-crew parody that became the most-seen entry.
