Winners Of Anniversary Contests
Last week we’ve celebrated our first anniversary and announced two anniversary giveaways for our readers — the book giveaway and the developer’s tools giveaway. Almost 4,000 visitors have participated; and now, as the deadline passed, we’ve drawn the winners randomly.
All winners will be contacted within the next 24 hours. Congratulations to the winners and thanks to all participants for taking part in our events! Since we’ve received a lot of feedback and many designers and developers have participated, we’ve contacted our sponsors asking them to give some more licenses, credits and accounts for free. Therefore in the end we have more presents than we’ve promised.
Let’s get right to the point: here are the winners of Smashing Magazine anniversary contests. The number in the brackets in the last column stands for the comment number of the participant.

Hmm, I seem to be in the same situation. I was definitely a winner for the Iconkits set (#1361) but my name seems to have been removed from the list…. I am beyond positive it was there before. I triple checked that it was MY comment number and MY name and MY prize pick and what not. Plus I remember how excited I was… any ideas?

erm, please forgive me, the emails has already been sent ? i still hasn’t see anything :)
