And the gOOify Mike Chambers winner is...

A week ago we posted a friendly contest to gOOify Mike Chambers charming poonum. There was a ton of great entries - many of which made me laugh out loud. We went through 3 rounds of judging, based loosely on creativity, humor, title and execution.

In the first round, each of our 5 judges (AKA gskinner.com Flash developers) each nominated 3 entries as finalists. The nominees were:
Siamese Chamber Cat
Sumo Mike
Malignant
Mike as a punk
Yogi
My dog wants in on this too
Demonic Mike
Damn! Ugly one
Incredibles
Mike Chambers? or Agent Smith? (Matrix effect)
Just me (near the bottom)
Fat Kid
Alien
Ostrich

In the second round, each judge cast 3 votes for nominees other than the ones they chose in round 1. The votes from both rounds were tallied to find a winner - but we wound up with a surprise tie between Sumo Mike and Fat Kid (apparently we have a soft-spot for obese Chamberses). In the final round, Fat Kid Mike squashed Sumo Mike to take the title. Congratulations to Patrick Pietens of flashaddict.nl for olympic-level gOOification - he will be receiving a free copy of the gProject panel as a reward.

Great work by everyone! Here's a list of all the web accessible entries we received. We also received a couple of entries by email from Saverio Caminiti and Mads Bjerre which were included in the judging.
