Please remember the rules about winning this contest.  I included them below to refresh everyone’s memory.

• The entry with the most votes wins $2,500.
• The entry with the second highest number of votes wins $750.
• The entry with the third highest number of votes wins $500.
• The others will win $100 for honorable mention. If we had received more than thirteen entries, then only the next 10 after the top three voter getters would win.
• One exception to the top three spots, a contestant may win only one of the top three spots.  So if John Doe gets the most number of votes for one of his submissions and the second most for another, he will win only the top prize but not second.  He will of course get $100 for honorable mention.
• The most any one contestant can win is $2,700.

So the winners are…

• First place goes to Jeanette Koniecki for Transforming Transformer Boxes. Voting indicates that Jeanette’s Branding Loveland came in third, but she can only win one of the top three spots so we are awarding her the first place prize of $2,500. She will also win another $100 for Branding Loveland.
• Second place goes to Regan Benson for A Snow Job. Regan’s Cell Phones for Eiber came in Fourth place in the voting. Regan wins $750 for second place plus four $100 honorable mentions.
• Third place goes to Dan LaBok for Just Say No to Sharpies. This entry actually came in fifth in voting, but since a participant can win only one of the top three places, Dan gets the nod for third.  Dan wins $500.
• All others will win $100 for each of their entries.

Thank you to everyone who participated.  What we enjoyed is that these were expenditures that interested Citizen Auditors and readers.  You will receive a separate email about how you will receive your awards. We look forward to doing this again next year.  And remember, “government, we’ve got our eye on you.”
