Winners of the Nettuts+/Screenr Competition Announced

Winners of the Nettuts/Screenr “Fame and Fortune” Competition Announced

on Oct 12th 2009 with 29 comments

The results are in. After a week of community voting, we’ve selected the best five submissions to the Nettuts+/Screenr competition. Everyone did a fantastic job, but there can only be five winners! Let’s see who they are.

How Were the Winners Selected?

Each day last week, the community was able to vote on their favorite video tutorial of the day. At the end of the week, I compiled these votes and determined the five most popular. At this point, I worked with a few members of the Envato staff to decide upon the order.

5th Place: How to Save Time and Code Less in CodeIgniter with Doctrine

Prize(s) Awarded

  • $100 cash, paid via Paypal.
  • 3 month Net Plus subscription.

4th Place: How to Turn a Boring Search Input into a Snazzy Search Suggest with jQuery

  • $100 cash, paid via Paypal.
  • 3 month Net Plus subscription.

3rd Place: How to Test CSS Rules with Firebug

  • 3 month Net Plus subscription.

2nd Place: Submitting a Form with Mootools

GRAND PRIZE WINNER: Create a Content Slider with jQuery

Thanks again to everyone who entered. It was difficult to narrow the list down to 25, and once again to only 5! If you were selected as a winner, please contact nettuts@tutsplus.com with your Paypal email address to claim your awards. Well done!

Thank you, Screenr!

    eh, I have seen sooo many jQuery slideshows. I don’t think that’s so special. #4 – How to Turn a Boring Search Input into a Snazzy Search Suggest with jQuery – should have won in my opinion, but congrats to all winners!
