I’m both super excited and sad to announce the winners of our first annual Anniversary competition! Why sad, you might ask? This contest was extremely close – close enough to delay this announcement for two days! As our contestants are aware, I intentionally introduced a grand prize that was far beyond the second through fourth place prizes. Knowing that, it became essential to spend as much time as possible determining the true champion. Each of the templates listed below were deserving of the first place seat, but only one could be crowned.

Many factors were considered when deciding: aesthetics, documentation, coding practices, average sales per day, etc. So without further ado, here are the best of the best.

Thanks again to our sponsors: MediaTemple, E Text-Editor, and Packt Publishing. We’re all huge fans of the services you offer.

Three weeks ago, we announced our largest competition ever. Thanks to the generosity of some great companies – including MediaTemple, E Text-Editor, Packt, etc. – we were able to offer many fantastic prizes to the winners.

Today is decision day. We have the difficult task of choosing the best five templates that were submitted within this time span – and we need your help! If you’re willing, please review the following submissions and leave a comment with your choices for the top five templates. We’ll then combine your scores with ours and announce the winners! So put on your reviewer hat and get started!

Generously, the folks over at Packt Publishing were nice enough to send me some copies of the recently released Learning jQuery 1.3, by Karl Swedberg and Jonathan Chaffer. I just finished reading it this past weekend. It’s fantastic, and should be on your bookshelf!
