I can't begin to thank everyone for taking part in the contest. If I combine the entries in each category, there were over 175. Wow. Opening the "tartanscotcontest" email was one of the best parts of my morning each day. Coffee. Oatmeal. And great design.
I'd also like to thank our judges - Grant Gibson, Michael Devine, Ronda Carman, Tobi Fairley, Anne Sage, and Megan Arquette.
Cheers - and congratulations to the winners!
