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.

Our friends over at ApartmentTherapy.com are putting their third annual fall colors contest to see who has the most color loving home. Win Up To $2500 from a total of $7500 in prizes to be awarded! - Thanks to subsomatic for reminding us.

How colorful is your home?

WHAT: Our Fall Colors Contest is a contest for all color lovers. We’re looking for the boldest, most beautiful, most colorful home in the world.

WHY: Color is a powerful part of interior design, and the cheapest way to change a room, but few feel comfortable using it. To inspire confidence, we’re going to share all of the best color homes, tips and sources, worldwide.

I’ve Got Color! - Fall Colors Contest 2007

So you and I both have something in common, (no, not our great looks & charm)… our love for color! But the sad thing is that not everyone knows about COLOURlovers.com and that is what this contest is all about. We’re making this the Summer of COLOURlove!

Contest Closed

This contest is closed and we will be going over all the entries and deciding our winners in the coming week. Even though the contest is over, you can still let others know about COLOURlovers.com.

Objectives

You know why you love this site and you do a better job of explaining it to other creative people than we do… So we want you to reach out to the groups, schools, clubs, gangs you roll with and tell them why they should be a member here at COLOURlovers. It could be writing a blog entry about the site… hand knitting a COLOURlovers scarf and wearing it around… throwing a COLOURlovers party… naming your next child COLOURlover… putting up COLOURlovers posters around your town… Use your imagination and take photos of anything you can easily link us to. Post your photos someplace like www.Flickr.com and link us to your creative expression.
