The contest judging around here gets harder and harder.

Selecting the winners of the "Win with Your Skin" contest was no exception. The competition was fierce and creative. There were many innovative and unique custom site designs. We were very impressed with the different styles and layouts. In the end, we selected the winners based on several factors: creativity, color, general appeal and of course how well they would work as a Bondware Skin.

That said, we would like to congratulate the following winners:
