Želimir Žilnik, winner of the Golden Bear at the event

The following prizes were awarded by the Jury:[2]

gollark: I do like the idea of an image-sequence-based esolang, and also the incomprehensible geometry one, but I doubt you could merge them easily.
gollark: Oh, stupider idea: an esolang which interprets images, but it takes image sequences, but the image sequences are supplied as lossily compressed video files.
gollark: You could just shove it on top of JSON or something.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: If the code is also on the notsquare grid, graphs.
