so this one is not based on community voting? Interesting idea. I think it would be a good idea to show some of the designs anyway – seeing what other people are up to does tend to push the standards of the work in a competition up.

I kinda feel like the extensions that seem to happen on most competitions are maybe a little unfair to the people who actually put in the effort to get something in by the deadline…

Hansa Pilsener was truly blown away by the designs that came through! Choosing the perfect winners was never going to be an easy task.
Springleap wants to thank all the awesome designers that took part in this competition. You stepped up and made it a truly memorable one.
