The winning design

Wow, thank you to all readers for your impressive participation in the poll for our 2009 Search Engine College t-shirt design competition.

The lead changed hands a couple of times during voting week, but by Sunday evening we had a clear winner. When voting closed at midnight on Sunday, here’s what the top 3 results were:

  • 152 votes

  • Tee Design 6 (Matt Burgess) Front / Back
  • 98 votes

  • Tee Design 8 (Andrew Ballard) Front / Back

My hearty congratulations to our winner Pete Newsome (whose design is pictured) and the two runners up Matt and Andrew.

Pete, as winner of our tee design competition, you get the following cool stuff:

– the kudos of your design printed on t-shirts and distributed to all attendees at SMX Sydney 2009

I’ll be in touch shortly with details on your prize pack. Thanks again to all who entered and voted.

Spread the joy!
