“Me and my iPod” contest winners announced

The Winners…

“Me and my iPod” contest winners announced

The last two iLounge contests were exciting for readers because of the prizes, but they’ve been even more exciting for iLounge editors because we’ve had a chance to see the tremendous creativity our users possess.

It was easier to pick winners for last month’s iPod Concepts contest – this month’s 200+ entries included a tremendous number of striking, funny, and creative concepts. (You can review the entries, including a few that couldn’t be considered because of slight Photoshopping, in our Me and My iPod Photo Gallery.)

We considered each entry carefully and chose six possible winners from a pool of around twenty strong contenders, then picked the final three and ranked them as follows.

Judging Criteria: iLounge’s editors picked three “best” photos from all the entries, based on our evaluations of the overall composition, creativeness, and appeal of the pictures. We did not expect that the winning shots would be perfect in each of these categories, but hoped that they would each make a strong visual statement.

Congratulations to our Grand Prize winner!

Grand Prize: Custom Fit Ultimate Ears UE-10 Pro Earphones (Valued at $900.00)

Our reactions to this visually arresting photo were strong – we all were drawn to its creativity, composition, and smart use of theme.

Repeated viewings only deepened our appreciation of the submission. Obsessed is the type of photo that hints at the fine line between genius and insanity, underscoring something we all know but can’t entirely explain: the fervor and passion for both functionality and aesthetic that differentiates iPod users from, say, Walkman owners.

The winner, Slavik Boyechko of New York reacts…

“Holy s***. I just checked the winners, I can’t believe I won! I just thought the ‘collecting names’ was for some listing of all contestants, but holy yokes! The idea came to me as I sat staring at my iPod for hours, while the rest of the time spent on iLounge, and I realized that since I bought this little gadget I have ceased to do everything else I love, including painting and drawing.

My friends poke fun at my obsession, but it is something that I can’t help and I don’t think any other iPod owner can either. Maybe now I can finally diminish this obsession and focus on something entirely more productive… the Ultimate Ears. Thanks so much Dennis and the rest of the iLounge crew, I’ve already told you before that I love everything about the site, so much that i check It more than my email account, but now this is another reason to love it even more.
