November Challenge Winner

There were 480 votes (up again from the last month's number!) this month and fewer entries so we have a resounding winner with 140 votes (29% of the total). Congratulations to triz of who won with her Let My People Go Collar ! Triz says about this piece:

The inspiration behind “Let My People Go” came from the story of Pesach (Passover). Pesach commemorates the departure of the nation of Israel from Egypt. It marks the birth of the Jewish people as a nation led by Moses over 3000 years ago. It is as much a celebration of our spiritual freedom as it is the physical liberation from slavery.
