For the entire month of February, developers were encouraged to submit their best scripts and components to CodeCanyon. With over $6200 worth of prizes to win, it was a battle consisting of many high level items. However, the competition has since concluded, and after two weeks of deliberating, the reviewers and I have made our choices for the top three spots!
