[Poll] Upitfree.com Contest Finalists!

[wprigjoigj3i40jhgi0435ejh Veteran]

I would like to take a moment and thank everyone that participated in the Upitfree.com contest over the last week. Neowin is the home of some truly talented designers and graphic artists. You guys have all done a great job. This was no easy task, but I have selected (what I believe to be) the 10 best designs as the contest finalists. Now, I would like for my fellow Neowin members to vote for their favorite design. Since this is a community site, community input is important to me. The design I would choose might not be the one everyone else likes. Please keep in mind that the winning design must be "codable," and vote accordingly.

Because there where so many great designs, I would feel bad picking only 1 winner and letting everyone's talent go to waist (so to speak). So, thanks to Contrast Hosting all 10 finalists will receive 6 months of free web hosting! Yea, you read that right. All contest finalists please CONTACT ME so I can get you setup. You can either email me (timdavis@gmail.com) or send me a PM. The hosting package will include the following:

• 200mb Disk Space
  
• 2gb Monthly Data Transfer
  
• Unlimited Email Accounts
  
• Unlimited Email Forwarders
  
• Unlimited MySQL Databases
  
• cPanel
  
• Hosting for your current domain or a FREE subdomain.
  

So, what are you waiting for? Get voting!!!

1) Visit http://www.upitfree.com/contest/finalists/ and look at all the finalists designs (don't vote until you look at all of them).

2) Vote for your favorite design!

UPDATE!

Well, I have good news and bad news...

The bad news is the contest is over.

The good news is that Cyco is the winner!

Cyco has decided (being the good guy he is) to split his prize money amongst all of the finalists. All finalists please PM me with your PayPal address so you can be rewarded for your efforts.

Thanks again to everyone who participated! The community involvement has been oustanding!

Long is the only one that looks classy and professional...the rest have too much style over substance.

I'll agree somewhat, but there is more to it than just what meets the eye...

whoa many really nice ones...voted sundayx

[mayamaniac]

I like spex04, more well thought out design and options. Second best is Long. I can't believe so many people like mail, its not a good design.

[fuBar.]

I would have to say...

Mail, even though I voted for Bioshadow...

After looking @ mail's design, simplicity is key and straight to the point.

[illicit]

Mail gets my vote!

I would second that. :yes:

[spex04]

I'm looking for a re-design for WRT54G.net. If you think you might be able to do it, PM me.

Why not do a contest, like this..?

[mail]

I like spex04, more well thought out design and options. Second best is Long. I can't believe so many people like mail, its not a good design.

I'm sorry if you don't like it fine but dont say its not a good design without backing up your points, so can you tell me what you think is so bad so i can do the necessaries if they are valid points ...

also style can be coded one of the examples is http://www.rimshotdesign.com

They are all good designs. I like them all! Looks to me like you are in the minority...

Well, since some people submitted multiple designs, I picked 1 design from each person. The one I liked the best:):)

All nice designs, I like Longs design you picked. I think some of spex first designs were better than the one you picked though.
