The Smashing Coffee Mug Photo Contest: Best Entries!
Three weeks ago, we launched a photo contest in which everyone could submit a photo of their favorite coffee mug. For those who have participated, thank you for taking shots of your beloved mugs and sending them to us. We received around 470 mugs from all over the world and only a couple of them could make it onto the poster we’ve created exclusively for our dear fans.
As promised, the most 20 creative and original submissions will be awarded with a printed poster. The ones who have been selected will be contacted via email very soon — if not already! If you’ve followed our submission guidelines, your coffee mug picture has surely made it to our jury. And if you find your coffee mug among the 150 mugs on the poster, you’ll see that your name has been included among the names of all the contributors that made this poster possible. Of course, the owner of each photo owns all the copyrights.

October 26th, 2011 4:42 pmThe image Fabrizio Pece submitted was already used before in the Smashing Magazine Wallpaper Contest, so that’s most probably just a stock image?

You can meditate on these and check out what you like – and why – and correct your criteria.
Nice idea, even better result.
Please go on with this really inspirational stuff.
