And the winner is...

Tom Stone and his puppet Muppra the Prophet



Hello Puppet People,

What an incredible contest! Most exciting for us was seeing such a wide variety of characters and the different puppetry methods for bringing them to life. We fell in love with so many of the creations you submitted, and choosing a favorite was tough. 

But choose we must. As die-hard Jim Henson and Brian Froud fans, we were absolutely enchanted by Tom Stone's "Muppra the Prophet" puppet in all his wizened glory, from his horns, four arms, and beautiful facial patterns, all the way to his wardrobe and hair work. Congratulations, Tom! If we're ever in need of a prophet to help foretell our futures here at Stan Winston School, Muppra is our guy.

See more on the Stan Winston School Blog.

Thanks to ALL OF YOU for sharing your puppet art with us!

-Team Stan Winston School
