Sorry, this contest is closed. Winners have been chosen and babies born. Check out who won in our results post.
Many talented artists have submitted their work to the Go Media User Showcase, which as of now has 970 entries. Not too long ago dugdaman suggested that it would be cool “if we could vote on the best ones and also offer design feedback to anyone who asks”. Well thanks for inspiring this contest dugdaman! The pieces picked for this contest are all really great, but I’m excited to see how everyone votes.
Entries:
We’ve narrowed the choices down to ten entries, but we’re counting on you to decide who is most deserving! So, take a careful look at each entry and cast your vote in the poll box at the bottom of this post. If you’ve got a personal favorite that isn’t featured as an entry, let us know in the comments. The entries are shown in no particular order and traverse many different areas from apparel design to editorial layout (we didn’t say it would be easy to choose!).
Prizes:
First Prize:
$100.00 in cash & Complete Go Media Vector Set of choice.
Second Prize:
One Go Media Vector Pack of choice.
Vote:
You can only vote for one entry, so be sure to get a look at all of them and pick your favorite. Get your vote in by 12:00pm Eastern Time August 8th (Friday), and we’ll crown the winner sometime that afternoon.

I like Fugitive the best for concept and skill, but they are all quite well done.

Voted for the Gunner deck, loved gravity failure as well though. Think Gunner might have gotten more love if the image was a bit larger or placed smarter.
August 4th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
Balance of Honor is a quality original piece. I’m a big fan.

Could this end up a popularity contest?

Balance Of Honor by far the most interesting to look at and most captivating.

Really love and appreciate the intricate detail in the Gunner Deck.

Massal is very very soapy and that makes her very fugitive =)
I like it. Fairy “BeeetleJuice” so far told =)

For a minute I thought this was a “best of the web” post or just a showcasing of different styles. I didn’t notice it was actually a contest until I saw the radio buttons.
