KPDF Icon Contest Announces Winner
==================================

   Some time ago an icon contest
[http://www.kde-look.org/news/index.php?id=127] was hosted on
KDE-Look.org to find a new icon for KPDF. Since then, we have
interviewed [http://dot.kde.org/1095261317/] the jury, and mentioned
KPDF Coolness here on the dot. The jury had a tough time deciding on a
winning icon, but they have finally chosen the icon to be used in the
next version of KPDF. However, before we reveal to you the winner we
would like to mention some of the other runners-up.


  I. SOME WORDS ABOUT THE SUBMISSIONS ...

     The jury, which consisted of Albert Astals Cid, Enrico Ros, Frank
Karlitschek and Kenneth Wimer have announced several extra awards:

     meNGele [Nenad Grujicic] was the first to submit his entry, KPDF
Pack [http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=16141], merely a
few hours after the contest was announced.

     We would like to give DrFaustus [Mario García H.] the concept
prize for his submission: E.G.O. kpdf
[http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=16531]. When looking
carefully, you can see that the "K" is actually a person reading. She is
wearing glasses, petting her cat and smiling. Look closer and you'll see
it, too!

[Donald Ade] -  We would like to give Donald the mis-concept prize :-)
 A KPDF Library Card... get it and print millions!

     This KPDF wallpaper
[http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=17035] is a must have
for 2 fanatic programmers working on KPDF. Thanks for his wallpaper
theobroma [J.D.]!

     The Giotto prize: the perfect circle.
The submission [http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=16307]
by Quickly
[http://www.kde-look.org/usermanager/search.php?username=Quickly]
received the Giotto prize. It's the only icon without a single corner!

     We had some quite creative and productive artists working - we
would like give the productivity award to dadeisvenm
[http://www.kde-look.org/usermanager/search.php?username=dadeisvenm]
[Donald Ade]: With 6 icons and 1 splashscreen, he was the most
productive artist during this contest.


 II. AND THE WINNER IS ...

     "But who won?" you might ask. Well the jury have given their scores
[http://static.kdenews.org/fab/interviews/iconcontest/kpdf.html], and it
has become clear that Marco Martin
[http://www.kde-look.org/usermanager/search.php?username=mart] has won
the icon contest for another kpdf icon
[http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=16146].
Congratulations Marco!

     When asked for his comment on winning this contest Marco replied:
"What can I say, I'm very happy that you liked it and that I could do
something for the project that I love... oh my God how I'm banal :-)"

     KPDF-hacker Albert Astals Cid expresses the sentiment of the jury
best: With 33 entries I am very impressed with and proud of the artist
community at KDE-Look.org.
