And the winners of NDC2011 are....

[Toiny]

This was an incredibly tough vote for all of us. Believe me when I say, there was much agonizing behind the scenes. You have all truly outdone yourselves this year. I know how hard this competition is, and you shined. Kudo's all around.


I'm very proud, and uber-excited, to announce the winners of the 2011 Next Designer Competition:

• Prettyingreen - Midnight Air
• snickerdoodledesigns - Dare to Dream
• Vickilyn - Optimistic

Congratulations to all three of you! Those are amazing kits, way to bring it. All three of you will be getting a PM from me with details on your prize packages. All three of you have won a Wacom Bamboo, as well as offers to join theStudio Design team.

Big smooches,

Toiny

Wow! Congratulations! I loved the kits and I can't imagine voting although these three were pretty high on my list all the way through!

[ladyofthethorns]

Ah well, I may not be a winner but I'm a winner in my predictions, all 3 of the ones I thought would win, did... maybe I should have put $ on my bets.

Best of luck to all of you; you're going to love the Bamboo!

well what a long breathless 4 weeks it's been...can see why you guys only do this once a year...to wearing otherwise...

Congrats also to Toiny and the other ladies for all their hard work in the judging and putting this contest together, it has been run in the most professional way and the rules have been clear and concise and any questions any of us have had have in my view been answered in a very quick time frame...thanks to you as well

Thanks to the other 85 contestants who participated regardless of how far they got. I for one have thoroughly enjoyed myself and will be looking forward to participating again next year...we're all winners
