    OMG! I won, first online winning, hehe. Although I did not win the fender guitar, my prize sure was one of the prizes I wanted.

    Anyways congrats everyone, thanks for the great articles and the link love, and to Jacob of course!

    I hope there’d be more graphic design group writing contest like this one, like say next week? :D

    Oh my, I can’t believe that I won the guitar! I used to play guitar years ago, and I still dabble with the saxophone and keyboard, and write songs…

    I’m based in the UK, so the postage costs might be prohibitive; if that is the case I may decide to hold a contest on my own blogs for the guitar.

    Thanks, Jacob for holding this splendid extravaganza. Thanks to Mohd Rafie too.

    Just read the original post and realised that Mohd Rafie appears to be also based in the UK, and had offered free worldwide postage for the prize. How generous was that?!

    Jacob, you should link the prizes to their hosts/sponsors, otherwise people are getting confused. I’m getting emails from other winners who didn’t win my prize and asking me for the blog review.
