Before I announce the winners, I have to say that we're stunned about
the number of entries in this contest--35 total!
:
The average quality of the submission was definitely above the norm, and
all your efforts were really appreciated!
I'll ask the four winners to send the PSD file to
michael#@#wickedvikings.com without the #'s along with your epassport info.
#1 - $500 : AdultRMX
Our number one winner is AdultRMX with one killer gallery.
What we like about it, is that it throws the niche right into the
surfer?s face, as soon as the page loads, and lets him know that this is
the wildest party he will ever experience. On the downside, the gallery
is heavy, but hopefully with the increased availability of high-speed
connection, this won't be much of an issue.

#2 - $250 : GoodStuff
If David Lynch made galleries, this would be his style! We like this
baby for its originality and wildness--just like PartyHardcore! Thinking
out of the box brings GoodStuff an extra $250 this month for additional
goodies.

#3 - $150 : FreeMind
We chose this gallery for its crafty placements of the marketing design,
and as gallery builders ourselves, we have had fabulous experience with
presenting the content on the left side and showing what the site is
really about in the right side. On top of that, we feel this gallery
exudes to the surfer a sense of quality.

#4 - $100 : MR2raymond
The reason we picked this one is for its simplicity. It presents the
content in a nice framework, manages to capture the surfer's attention
with the message in the very top, and it loads fast. A big part of
making a successful gallery is by directing the surfer's attention to a
message the very second he enters the gallery.

Picking these four winners out of the thirty-five submission was not
easy, and it was only a few pixels that separated the winners from the
all the other good submissions.
Thanks guys for your efforts, and stay tuned for some more great
contests from MaxxandMore each month!
