Website Design Competition Winner from New York

I was recently selected to be a judge at a local website design competition.  Though the competition was a local event, web designers from across the world were invited to attend, and we had some designers that showed up from as far away as Paris.

Each design team was given the same task to design a website template for three different local businesses (which were all sponsors of the event), in a short six hour time frame.  They were not allowed to use the resources from their staff back home, only the three people in each of their teams.

It was very interesting to see the finished results from each of the teams as they were all quite amazing.  Even though all the designs were good, a New York web designer came up with the best of the bunch.  His designs was nothing short of breathtaking, and he deserved first prize.

Due to the success of this year's competition, we are thinking of putting on one next year.  I have already volunteered to be a judge and I can't wait to see the designs that will come out of next year's competition.
