Before we get to the winners, I'd just like to thank everyone who participated in the contest. It was so dope to see everyone nerd out over their favorite artists and be super creative. I hope everyone had as much fun creating these as myself, @TheScrivener, @bfred, @RobMarkman, @AndreTorres, and @YoungJFK did reading them and choosing the winners!

First Place: Kid Cudi's Man On The Moon III: The Final Journey by @ImLu
@ImLU delivered an absolute standout. The album is super detailed, very well executed, but also believable. If Cudi could pull this off, I have no doubts this would be considered a classic.
Second Place: Lady Gaga's Continuum by @Freeus
Gaga might be a superstar but this is a SUPER album. From the titles of songs ("Free" featuring Kesha) to the samples (David Bowie!!), @Freeus did an amazing job. If Gaga made this project I could easily see this heading straight to number 1.
Third Place: Childish Gambino's Boolean by @Gabbles
While we didn't announce a third place when the contest began, there were so many good entries we felt it was necessary to add an extra prize.
What's crazy about this album is it reads like something Donald would actually do/pull off, that's what makes it so sick. @Gabbles managed to combine coding and music effortlessly—I'd love to see Donald get creative and drop a project like this!
Here's what our winners are taking home:
First place: Your dream album published on Genius + Genius swag pack (t-shirt, stickers, etc) + Surprise prize based on the artist you wrote about (vinyl, concert tickets, merch, etc).
Second place: Your dream album published on Genius + Genius swag pack (t-shirt, stickers, etc) + 3 months free streaming on your preferred streaming service, valued at up to $30.
Third place: Your dream album published on Genius + Genius swag pack (t-shirt, stickers, etc).
Once again, congratulations to @ImLU, @Freeus, and @Gabbles. I'll be contacting you individually about your prizes. To everyone else: we had so many great entries, we're planning on publishing more of them down the track (not just the people who won), so stay tuned. You never know, you might see your dream album on the editorial site in the coming weeks/months ;)
