Ho-kay… Twilight’s mark is not a Star of David. And if the Artist hadn’t tried to show the whole length of the grave out of perspective, there would have been no need for the zoom in. Just show us the tombstone! The “here lies” language would clue us in.
Low tier, I am afraid.

I would've also liked it had it read: "Here lies Twilight. She never scored."

Why didn't you actually just write the text on the gravestone?
That said, this is primarily an art contest, and almost all of the context for the image comes from the text, not the art. While there are ways of doing this cleverly (The Treachery of Images), here it feels less like a clever part of the image and more... well, most of what there is.

Hmmm...I like the idea of giving out a bunch of silly paper plate-style awards.

This caption has figured out how to work blue despite being written in black text. I don't understand its color-changing magic, I can only admire. 11/10

Originally, this picture was gonna have Twilight herself standing next to the grave, competing my homage to one of the best episodes of Spongebob Squarepants ever.
My first and biggest mistake with this piece, though, was making it too good. Next time I'll be sure to let my real MS Paint skillz shine. Hell, maybe I'll even splash out enough money to get a free trial of KidPix.

Originally I was gonna make it a full star, but once I was halfway through and realized I had made the Star of David, I thought it was funny, so I kept it. Just pretend Twilight's last name is Goldstein.
>>Zaid Val'Roa
I was tempted, trust me.
>>TitaniumDragon
I thought—and still do think—that the zoom in is funnier than just having it read the text outright.

I have no idea what this means.
I am tremendously proud of the title and alt-text, by the way.

"Working blue"
Then I think Twilight was a significant omission. As a troll entry, what this really lacks is a mouse-drawn circle-blob pony outline in the empty space on the right, with cyan tear lines streaming down its misshapen frowny face.
