Internet Week Europe took place in London this past week, and as part of the festivities they held an online art contest to see who could draw the best interpretation of the internet. The contest was open to school children (ie: kids who have grown up with the internet as a huge part of their lives) and to people who work in creative fields (ie: people who spend a lot of time on the internet), and some of the entries on both ends are really awesome.
