Hilzinger's illustration of "DVD Piracy" was a montage of photographic elements. By transforming DVDs into a pirate ship sailing on the high seas, he conveyed the theme of the story. As the judges say, this work is:
Imaginative and well executed, this exceptional piece of artwork is a powerful image that demonstrates Hilzinger's artistic ability. His wonderful high-tech ship brings together video piracy and good old-fashioned high seas drama. The idea is very clever and the work conveys a real sense of threat and danger.
However, the real entertainment was this event.
