I’m pleased to announce the winners of the first WordPress CSS Style Competition:

The Winners

1. Pink Lilies
2. Rubric
3. Human Condition

Honorable Mention

• Aubergine Machine
• Dark Fire
• Mars Spirit
• Toni

There were many wonderful entries making the judging very difficult. These rose to the top using a combined score of votes from the people who are putting up the prize money, your downloads, and cross-browser compatibility.

Of course, the real winners here are the WordPress users who now have 38 new styles from this contest (45 total) they can use with the default WordPress template.

Several people have expressed regret that they didn’t hear about the contest in time and weren’t able to finish their design by the deadline. Please continue to send in designs. I’m happy to post them and continue to grow the wonderful library of styles we have. Maybe we’ll have another contest in the future.

Thanks so much to everyone who entered and to Matt, Geof, Dougal and isma for their contributions to the awards.
