Thanks so much to everyone who entered, to everyone who sponsored the draw, and to those of you who kindly offered a prize for my next bumper graphic design giveaway.
Remember, if you’ve won a prize that isn’t applicable to you or your business, it’d be greatly appreciated if you host your own prize giveaway, so the sponsors gain some extra exposure. Your readers will thank you for it too.
Stay tuned for a step-by-step guide on how to run an online prize draw, including what to do, and perhaps more importantly, what not to do.

I entered by email, and it seems like most of the winners went the trackback route :\. Congratulations for all of the almost 30 people walking away with prizes, and David, you did a great job promoting and creating this contest!
It seems as if your rankings (Alexa, Technorati) have really flourished as well as your subscriber rate!
EEeeeeeeek! I won something! *Faint!* *Thud!* Thanks, David for the contest and my prize sponsor Charles Jordan! :)
Wow…I never won anything in my life. This theory is proven by the fact that I’ve snatched the last award here.
But still, it’s a big victory for me :)
Thank you David.
HOLY CRAP!!!
This is awesome!
Thanks David. I can’t believe this. Thank you for running a fantastic contest.

Good luck finding that logo. Did you know I’m for hire? ;)
Limitless, Adnan, Benjamin,
Good of you to comment.
Jermayn,
My honesty got the better of me, otherwise your name would’ve been randomly drawn for every prize, and I would’ve somehow changed the rules so you could win more than one. Sorry again.
BC,
David has been contacted about your winnings. Congrats!
Jaypee,
I hope to hold many more giveaways, although Problogger has stepped the competition up 100 notches from the sounds of things!
Ben,
Thanks for asking Simon to get in touch, and I know you’ve been at his site, which is great.
For those other winners, if you haven’t yet heard anything, please don’t hesitate to contact the sponsor of your prize, referring them here. I’ve been contacting most, but have been so busy lately. Apologies for any delay.
I know that you design logos and…..I also know that you charge for it :) …that is the problem..
I am a student and I am sure i would not be able to afford you..??

Pity.. I didn’t win anything.. but I’m enjoy to be part of the contest, better luck next time!
Anyway, congrats to all winners!
Sorry I missed your comp.
Great job, David, on your rollout and design blog.
As a senior ad & marketing guy, will attest that identity puts the face on your content.
Logos, marks & branding are what distinguish any communication. Pure design and clear messaging always rock!
