Read the comments from Director M. Night Shyamalan about each winner below, and join us in congratulating the three stellar contest winners!
Comment from M. Night Shyamalan:
Haunting and Hellish. The identities vying for the light like salvation. This really disturbs me. It is clearly torture to be where they are. Only rising to the light can bring them peace and only the child seems to be able to stay directly in the light.

Comment from M. Night Shyamalan:
Violent, and majestic. I really feel the characters' rapacious need to get to the light. There is nothing safe about their coexistence. I also love the figure which I assume is The Beast being framed out at the top… makes my imagination go wild.

Comment from M. Night Shyamalan:
Biblical. So beautifully composed. Kevin slumped in the chair is heartbreaking. I love Dennis shoving Barry. The expressions on all the identities are so deeply thought out. And that pungent powerful purple of Kevin’s pants… Lyrical and Sublime.
