And The Fortunate Winner of The Contest Is…
February 20th, 2009
We have been looking for this day with anxiety and at last it has come. Hurray! Today we are thrice happy to announce the finishing of St.Valentine’s Wallpapers Contest. Our team appreciates all of you who have gone in for this competition. 16 eye-candy wallpapers were sent to us and you can look through this collection here. Each author has contributed his own inimitative rendering of love to his works and has made them so picturesque. These brisk and bright wallpapers speak for creative outlook of the competitors. Thanks a lot for positive feedback and great ideas!
The contest is finished now and you can drop a line about your impressions. Feel free to leave your comments to this post.
And now about the most important – the winner. This contest started on February 2d and ended up on February 14th.
It was not easy to define the winner because each member of our contest jury had a different opinion concerning this question. Our contest jury consists of our designers’ team, Feebee and Philip Straub and it took us some time to agree on this question. At last we have decided to reward 2 participants instead of one.
The first place winner and the fortunate possessor of $150 is Alabara with the wallpaper “Kiss Me My Valentine”. In favor of this wallpaper voted our team and Feebee.
The second place winner and the possessor of 50 credits to Templates.com account is Alexandra Parteka with the wallpaper “Chalk Sketch”. This wallpaper is the choice of Philip Straub.
In this post you can look through the whole collection of the entries to the St.Valentine’s Wallpapers Contest. The winner’s wallpaper comes first.
Our congratulations for the winner and best wishes to all participants! Cheers!

Here is the winner! The first place and $150 in cash.
To tell the truth, it is my favorite wallpaper. Such a bonny girl that is carried away with the most splendid feeling – love. Everything in this picture speaks for the loveliness: the girl itself, her posture, her erubescent cheeks, even this funny little kitten. The whole charming tone of this wallpaper is fantastic!

Here is the second place. Philip Straub has chosen this very image.
“I like this one for its direct message and simple beauty. Sometimes less is more and this really gets the concept across utilizing an art style that speaks to the subject matter. Since we can’t see the face of the artist it works well because it allows anyone receiving the message as the desired recipient.” (Philip Straub)
