Alienware Dream Winners Announced
I want that PC....
Tuesday, January 15, 2008 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Shortly after Thanksgiving this year, we announced the Create Your Alienware Dream contest. Talented animation artists from all over the US had a chance to show their stuff and compete for three really great prizes; a $3,000 Area-51 7500 Desktop PC, $1,000, and $500 cash. Outside of the GUI Champs, this is the single biggest contest (in terms of prize value) we've run.
Last week, the judges voted, and after contacting each of our winners, it's time to let everyone else in on who walked away with which prize.
| 1st Place - Alienware Area-51 7500 Desktop PC | |

| 2nd Place - $1,000 Cash | |

Alien Where? by TheMasterBaron

| 3rd Place - $500 Cash | |

Alien Core by t2wave This entry was t2wave's first attempt at making a Dream, which is pretty impressive. Using little touches like taking the "alien language" from a previous Alienware contest, this Dream's attention to detail especially caught the attention of our judges. |
Thank you to all of our participants, and to our judges (Island Dog, Fuzzy Logic, Snowman, WOM, Erk, Karma Girl, Snidely Whiplash, and the folks at Alienware), and most of all Alienware for the amazing prizes!
If you weren't able to compete in this Dream contest, remember that we have the 2008 GUI Champs coming this year, and I'll give you a hint... Dreams will be one of the competition categories!

All the submissions were great, and I can't wait until the GUI Champs.

but shouldn't TheMasterBaron have been disqualified for 'being friends of wincustomize' if he's a master dream maker for the company?

Ok, this one keeps coming up.
Being a Master Skinner does not make someone either an employee or a friend of Stardock staff. It's just a sales service we provide to select individuals in the community who have shown talent in skinning and a dedication to the site.
We don't pick Master Skinners because they're our friends or we like them as people (though I'm sure each and every one of them is an excellent, kind and generous person). They're picked based on their work.

Yes, I wasn't able to test it. I do have Vista Home Premium, but not Ultimate. That being the case, the only way I could test it was to win the contest, I mean comeon, who's gona pay for Vista Ultimate anyway....
