Sony Vaio Contest Results

Well as some of you may know, I was one of the 8 finalists in Sony's My Graphic Splash contest a few weeks back.  On 9/15 Sony announced the final 3 grand prize winners who were Amy Neal, Kristin Getchell, and myself (yay!). As the 3 finalists, we were invited to go to New York City for the 9/15 press event unveiling the winning designs where we got to meet Mike Abary-- Senior Vice President of Vaio, Lauren Conrad (of The Hills fame), and artist Maya Hayuk.  The prizes for the contest include a Sony Vaio laptop with our design on the lid and $5000 as well as the free trip to NYC to attend the press event on 9/15. I'd thought there was supposed to only be one grand prize winner, but it turned out that the 3 finalists were all grand prize winners.  So congrats to the other winners Amy , and Kristen .

I also wanted to say thank you, thank you, thaaaaank you! to everyone who took the time to register and vote for their favorite design and a very special thanks to everyone who voted for my design; I really do appreciate it, gang.
