WINNERS: Photo Color Inspiration Contest

By COLOURlover // March 20, 2008

You all are just way to talented! Choosing 3 winners from the 1,500 entries was an incredibly difficult task. It actually took more than a few hours to look at all the entries. (You can view all the contest entries here: Photo Color Inspiration with LuckyOliver) So many were creative, interesting and works of art themselves... but in the end we only have enough prizes for 3 winners and here they are:

1st Prize

8GB iPod Touch or $300 via US check or PayPal
50 LuckyOliver tokens

2nd Prize

iPod Shuffle or $79 via US check or PayPal
50 LuckyOliver tokens

3rd Prize

iTunes Gift Card or $25 via US check or PayPal
25 LuckyOliver tokens

Honorable Entries

Getting 3 from 1,500 was nearly impossible. Along the way we kept trimming the list of palettes we loved down to a smaller number and the palettes below stayed with us for most of the way. Even though they didn't win, we wanted to share a little extra love with these palettes.

Silver, speaking for LuckyOliver we were honestly *delighted* to hold this contest with COLOURlovers. It just seemed like such a great pairing of skills, interests, and communities and everyone on both teams thought we'd get some cool entries out of it. But we were blown away by how many entries were submitted and how rock solid, stratospherically good they were.

Judging was really long and really hard, but the fact that everyone picked some really stunning images to build some truly gorgeous palettes off of made it fun to work through and discuss. Sincerely, thanks to everyone who submitted - we all had a blast and hope you all did too!

PS: In case anyone was wondering, Darius is totally professional, fun, and a delight to work with. He put a huge amount of effort into making this work and keeping it running from a technical perspective against the onslaught of entries, so he gets extra special thanks :)
