I believe when amp came up with this concept it was to blow the fucking doors off the adult design business with your BEST work, the best you had the best you could do, it was a design contest.
The people who are voting on these, and 99% of the clients you design for want their sites to be fucking stunning works of art, with all the cool gizmos and techniques you can pull off in a great design, while still being within the parameters of dialup.
The bottom line is that the designs that are ahead are ahead because they are better designs, and appeal to the masses which as designers is who we try to appeal to everyday of our design career.
Fletch, I can't wait to see what you did, your work's getting better everyday.
To some of the others who's designs aren't in the top ten but still gave it 100%, good work, it takes time to create kickass work, if it was easy any ass monkey with photoshop would be doing it. (Sometimes it seems like they are these days

) keep practicing, and you'll get better.
Good job people, we need to do this again in a few months.
Now where's my photoshop manual
