Group Writing Project Winners
Now that the final submissions are all in for the Reviews and Predictions Group Writing Project it’s time to announce the prizes from our wonderful and generous sponsors who in total gave $2500 USD in gifts as incentives to participate.
The following 10 winners were selected randomly (using a random number generator) to win the prizes. Congratulations to each of them and better luck next time to the 282 participants who didn’t come away with a prize this time around.
While there’s no formal judging in this project to determine a winner the true judging now happens from you the reader of these posts as you surf through the list of participants searching for your favorite to link up to. Post your top 10 and share some link love.
Thanks for everyone who participated.
Here are the 10 winners.
- Terry wins the 30GB iPod Video for their post Top 10 Ugliest Sneakers of 2006. This was donated by Poker on a Mac.
- Daniel wins $100 and a book from Dave from Ask Dave Taylor Tech Support and The Intuitive Life Business Blog for his post 101 Blog Tips I learned in 2006.
- Nic wins a web hosting package worth $240 for the post Top 10 “Crzy” Tech Gifts. This was donated by Thrive Web Marketing.
