It's been taking at least a week for each winner of the Render of the Week Award to be featured here at www.BlenderNews.org, since there are other nominee(s) waiting in line. To help ensure that your work is nominated, please (1) make sure that your work has not been submitted to another contest and waiting for judgement and (2) refine your work before publishing them so that others would see virtually no significant room for improvement, (3) and please submit your original work rather than fan art.

So, how can you qualify for this award? Please remember that this award is reserved only for those that are on par with or that excel top notch works published by artists and studios. If such work doesn't seem to appear during a specified week, this award will not be given to anyone. So please submit your best work to www.blenderartist.org or to the Member's Gallery of this site, or Contact Us to show where your work is available on the internet. It doesn't have to be a Blender render, internal or Cycles. A Vray render or any other render is fine as long as Blender was used as a part of your workflow. 

Thus, it is with great pleasure that www.BlenderNews.org introduces to you the winner of the Render of the Week Award for the week of May 21, 2012: Gabriel Tomczak.
