This month MacRumors held an avatar contest in celebration of its ten millionth forum post on May 29, 2010. Forum members showed their creativity, humor, and graphics skill as they competed in four categories. Many contest entries made creative use of the MacRumors logo while others presented humorous takes on Steve Jobs and the controversy over the lack of iOS support for Adobe Flash.
Chosen by public polls, the winners of the Ten Million Post Avatar Contest are
- User harry*333 for "iEvolved" (Best Static Avatar, General Theme)
- User Tilpots for "McRumors" (Best Static Avatar, MacRumors or Ten Million Theme)
- User ComputersaysNo for "1995 - 2010 goodbye flash" (Best Animated Avatar, General Theme)
- User TheSlush for "Applause" (Best Animated Avatar, MacRumors or Ten Million Theme)
You can see the other contest entries in the Avatar Contest Gallery. Congratulations to the winners and all of the forum members who participated!
