I'm probably falling for bait but I'm salty, so I don't care.

I didn't want to take photographs of the pieces because that would be really rude, so I'll describe them more. Objectively, they were inferior to other pieces in the same category.

Neither of them were technically or conceptually 'good'. The comic-strip like ones looked like they were done with Illustrator's auto-trace tool, and the humor was third grade level puns ('assault' -> 'a salt'). There's great comic-strip artists who do lovely stylization and great, economic line work, but these had none of that.

The other one looked like someone's first graphic design assignment where they traced over a 1pp drawing and filled in areas haphazardly with textures and colors and no detail. It looked amateurish and wasn't interesting at all--like something from a middle school graphic design class.

I'm only mad because of how nice every other traditional art's honorees were. We get through all these nicely done or conceptual pieces, and then as we hit digital media, it's like the jurors lost their wits and decided "hm, this obviously looks like it was done on the computer" and picked these three. Sucks for the other students, especially the one who was serving something like this (but more illustrative):
