You read about the contest late last December, salivating over the thought of a free Philips 50" plasma television and Pronto Professional remote control package. A select number of you toiled long hours over the following months, eventually to submit an amazing design. The designs were gathered, formatted and made public so that all Remote Central members could see, download and eventually vote for their favorites. And now that the votes have finally been tabulated... all that's left is to announce the results!

But I won't spoil it for you right now – you'll have to visit the official results page to discover who came in first, second and third! Also, since I have not yet contacted any of the winners by email please feel free to be among the first to congratulate them in this thread!

View the official results here!

Congrats to the winners.. nice looking stuff there...

although the 2nd and 3rd winners receive the same items, valued at different amounts..
Im sure that was a typo....

Second place was a Serial Extender -

Third place a Standard Extender -

Daniel, thank you very much for this contest. The presentation of the entries was a real pleasure to watch: Full-Size screenshots (which you even helped to create), changing order of the contestants' designs and a fast and uncomplicated ballot form. Kudos to how you realized this contest.
I think all the entries were of a very high quality - my personal favourites are Tom's Roger Wilco 2099 design (which I actually expected to be the winning entry) and GuiWerx's Simplify.
And of course, thank you to all the members who were the judges of this contest.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

André

Congrats to all the winners. Great job on the repeat victory André!

I would like to say thanks to Daniel Tonks for not only a great contest but also a wonderful website. I also wish to say that all the contest entries where very unique and showed a lot of creativity. Needless to say André’s ‘Prototypes’ was very cool and deserving a first place. I also really liked Noel’s ‘Simplify’ and thought the animation in David’s ‘Black Magic’ was stunning – that had to take an enormous amount of time to create. I certainly would not consider myself to be in the same league with some of these individuals when it comes to graphical talent. I am not a graphics artist by trade, but I am constantly learning. All those individuals that share their ideas on this website should also be thanked. This is what truly makes this site great. The constant sharing and learning from other’s designs makes us all of strive to make our own designs better and think of new and unique ways to control our systems.

Now I did not have time to fully finish my own design to my liking prior to submitting it for the contest. I’m a bit of a perfectionist and I have been tweaking a lot of the graphics since then. Plus I have fixed a couple of bugs and made some adjustments with the spacing of the buttons. I will be submitting this file soon. As a thank you, I will also be submitting all the Photoshop templates. So, for those that liked the design, you will have the ability to create your own buttons and place your own pictures in the backgrounds. I am currently working on a step-by-step guide on how you can personalize this file to your own liking.

I would like to thank all those that voted for me. I was pleasantly surprised that I came in second – especially considering the talent that was shown in all the other submissions.

If anyone has any questions or comments on the design, please feel free to e-mail me.

Sincerely,

Scott
