We are happy to announce the winners of our snowboard design contest. Judges were Dan Cederholm, Dave Shea, Veerle Pieters, (all speaking at the Web Directions North conference that inspired the contest), and the Digital Web staff: Tiff Fehr, Nick Finck, Kerri Hicks, Matthew Pennell, Walker Hamilton, and me. The top five winners, in order, are:

1. Mark Hernandez


2. David Melton


3. Geoff Gibson

5. Anton Peck

Congratulations, Mark! We’ll be awarding our lovely list of prizes this week to these winners and to our runners-up, based on winners’ availability to attend the conference, preferences, and so forth.
