All the posters submitted to the contest
That’s it! The posters for the contest have all been received and are displayed in this post. The jury will be making its decisions for July 25, day of the winners announcement. The winners will be contacted directly by email and a blog post will be written to announce the winners.
For now, you can also vote for the posters by clicking on the link under it. It will take you to the a Flickr page with the poster, you can comment the poster or favorite it, it will increase its popularity in both case. I will give a prize to the most popular poster in my Flickr stats, that will be the Designer Daily’s readership prize (but won’t have anything to do with the jury’s decision).
The contestants posters have been displayed here in the order I received them. I would also like to give a final thank you to all the contestants.

awesome article there with very professional designed posters.
how do you vote? the links take you to a flickr page…
Megan’s is the BEST
wow! some of those are really great!
awesome =]
Hmmm well, some of those really blew me out of the water. Oh well, it was still fun. =]
I recognize some of these beetles from my own image searches. Small world.
Some really awesome stuff here. Great job!
Muy buen blog de diseño! great blog! thanks from Argentina.
Wonderful artwork!
I appreciate it very much.
My Favorites are Marcela Gonzalez and Megan. Very good job.
Nice work Megan!
Megan’s and Marcela’s are my favorites, too. Really well-designed, though I’m not feeling the type on Marcela’s too much.
I love ‘em! There’s some stellar stuff in here!
Megan…really?
bad photography blended with trendy type. Think I have seen the same thing executed in every issue of id magazine.
Holy Sh*t — what incredible talent! I am so impressed!
My faves:
Erica Morris
Laz Marquez
Marcela Gonzalez
Paul Devine
But I’m a minimalist at heart and the beetles forming the awards-thingy is perfection! So Elisabeth Lenzi gets my vote. Cheers

Design/Popularity/Marketing Contest?
There’s nothing exactly ethically wrong with asking people to vote for your stuff, and since this is the internet it’s almost to be expected. I’ve done it for friends in my time, and had the favour returned. Consider it good networking.
And even though I’m personally not convinced Megan’s is the best of the bunch, the flickr vote will have nothing to do with the panel’s decision. Theoretically. So, nothing to get too anxious about.
Ryan, if the contest is to be judged on design then it shouldn’t be won by means of networking or self-advertising. I’m pretty sure most of the contestants are aware of means to increase comments and favorites on a flickr page. I could make mine shoot up extremely fast through facebook, twitter, myspace, flickr’s IRC channel . . . etc. And well, just because you have used these tactics to get votes doesn’t exactly make it right. That kind of logic really doesn’t work.
Now I personally didn’t follow that path and my own design comments and favorites reflect that. I am hoping that the Flickr results aren’t effecting the panel’s decision. But I can see how it would be deduced that they would. I mean if I was going to use a design to promote my movie I would want to get some feedback.
I’m not going to pass any judgment on Megan’s design. This isn’t about the design sadly. I’m just looking at designs I know are equally par to Megan’s and they have received little to no attention so it seems kind of obvious something is skewed.
The juried competition is completely separate from the flickr competition. The jurors are not taking into account any comments or votes from the blog or from the flickr page.
Sorry for the confusion.
Thanks for participating!
I removed the links. I’m really not much for drama. I just thought the collective time and effort that went into all these designs shouldn’t be undermined.
Please feel free to delete Hugo’s post and any post relating to the matter.
Ryan I meant no offense in my reply. I understand and respect your position of mediation.
Jesus grow up!
Contest rigging is lame. End of story.
Good luck mañana everyone!
great submissions! thank you for sharing!
