Switcher’s Giveaway First Prize Winner!

MacApper Switcher's Giveaway 1st Prize Winner AnnouncedWow what a week. Aside from school and my usual stuff I have had the massive job of pouring through nearly 150 creative contest entries, to our massive Switcher’s Giveaway from last month. It was really very interesting and tons of fun, but choosing a winner for these types of things is never easy.

So before announcing the winner I just wanted to thank all the great companies who made this possible, and just congratulate everyone who entered and posted about it on their blogs and websites. Once again the Mac community really pulled through. Also a huge thanks to Miles, Josh, Kyle, Kiro and the other great contributors here for coming together on this effort with your time and expertise.

Now for some great news. Our senior editor, Miles Evans, has promised he will reward 1 more switcher’s piece with a special runner up prize of $100 US dollars. So many of you have emailed asking us to unveil the winners on MacApper, we decided that we would publish the best entries, and the readers will vote for who deserves the $100 prize. So watch for these home brew articles all this week, and be sure to place your vote.

And without further ado, the grand prize winner of the MacApper Switcher’s Contest 2007 is: ‘Peter Gets a Mac’, by David and Peter Carpe. Congrats guys - you just won large and you totally deserve it! We will be in touch with you shortly.

But wait! Isn’t there also a lucky winner to be announced at random? Like a lucky draw? Did you think we forgot? You’re right, there is still 1 more winner, picked at random, lined up to take home 23 apps and a t-shirt - Check back tomorrow for that announcement guys!
