The Elephpant World Tour 2008 is done!

January 4th, 2009

2008 is over, which means the Elephpant World Tour is coming to an end! The contest that started in September got over 240 entries! That is a whopping 60 elephpant pictures a month.

The PHPWomen, who we managed to convince to be the judges for the contest, are now going to sift through all the posts and select 3 winners. As you may recall, we had various prizes, which will be divided among the 3 winners like this:

3d prize:

A 50$ gift certificate for the php|a store, graciously donated by php|architect

2nd prize:

A license key for Flex Builder Professional, donated by Adobe
A 50$ gift certificate for the php|a store, graciously donated by php|architect

1st prize:

A copy of Zend Studio Professional, graciously donated by Zend
An entrance ticket for the Dutch PHP Conference ‘09, graciously donated by Ibuildings
Signed copies of Cal and Ivo’s books, donated by ourselves.
A license key for Flex Builder Professional, donated by Adobe

As soon as we have winners, we’ll announce them on the site, so check back regularly!

Give the Elephpants a bit of rest now; we’ll announce new plans for EWT09 soon…
