‘the Votes are in!‘

On behalf of @felander, @sirwries & myself we want to express our heartfelt apologies for keeping you all waiting longer than expected. We had a few unforeseen circumstances with clashing diaries and because of that we didn’t see each other last week and couldn’t properly consult one another to decide on a winner. Today is the first time that we had a chance to sit down and we’ve made our decision.

Thank you

First of all, the three of us want to say a big thank you to everyone who participated in our competition. You have not made it easy for us, but we did manage to choose a winner that suited the three of us. For the last time, here are all participating entries:

… and the Winner is …

As we mentioned when we posted the competition, to have features that are specific for Switzerland is an important criteria for us. So when it came to making our shortlist, we could already cross several entries off as they didn’t really meet our requirements and liking. In the next phase we looked deeper into the designs and we each made our shortlist.

In the final stage the three of us sat together and agreed democratically (as we do in Switzerland) on a winner.

We had 2 entries that gave the winner a good run for the call and they deserve a special mention:

@amirdesaingrafis & @johanmartinez well done on your entries, you both came very close to winning, but we could only choose one to be the winner and therefor our winner is:

Next Competition

Hopefully I’ll have time again to post on a more regular basis in the near future, however with the looming unemployment, some health issues, my course and family obligations are currently taking up most of my spare time, so that I rarely have time to post, let alone plan and post a new competition.

We are still looking for a charity/initiative to sponsor. So far we have only had one recommendation @steemarity from @theaustrianguy this is a really cool initiative to get involved in and we're seriously considering it, but if anyone has any other options for us to consider, then please give me or any of the other guys a heads-up otherwise we're going to get in touch with the @steemarity guys and set something up with them.

Thanks everyone for participating and if you haven't done so already, VOTE!
