This is an extremely complicated competition, with so many great entries there can only be one winner!
The winner is... Drum roll...
Zanne!
Congratulations!
Thanks to all those that entered, and if you did enter this competition, you all win something too, unfortunately not the noblechair, but if you send me your name and address I will send a noblechairs goodie bag out to you!
Everyone's a winner!

Definitely. Send me your addresses and you can get the noblechairs goodie bag.
I am that kind!
Better hope he logs back in again, another 1 post wonder !
You really ought to implement a minimum entry requirement for these competitons.
Pitching loyal forum members who dabble in photoshop up against free-lance semi-pros who trawl the internet for competitions then disappear into the ether - Is like Man City entering a Sunday League football knockout.
Bit of a kick in the teeth for guys who support OcUK regularly.
Congrats to all the regulars who entered.

I did actually look at a few entries and notice they were new accounts, it's a difficult one but it isn't fair at all on loyal, long standing forum members/posters if random people can enter, win and never be seen again. Some photoshop enthusiast websites actually alert their members to competitions like this so they can enter and soak up all the prizes. Half the time they won't even be enthusiasts of the competition they are entering and will win and sell on the prize. They are just people who look for free to enter competitions. I've seen it all before when I used to run a Football manager community.
Completely agree with Brizzles.
Congrats to all, and Zanne.

I have just gone through the entries, there were 4, yes 4 new accounts that signed up and only posted in here. All of a very good photoshop standard.
I am willing to bet that all four accounts will no longer be active here in a week or less.
I am not trying to stir up trouble and make any difficulties for the mods here but a flaw needed pointing out. I did actually notice these new accounts before the competition ended because of the standard of designs, part of me was hoping that some common sense in deciding the winner would kick in and actually reward a legit forum member but again unless rules are set from day one it would be hard to implement that.

I'm not looking to build my business I'm employed as a graphic designer. If there was a rule saying no professionals then of course I wouldn't enter. I found out about the competition through a friend who is really into his computers, and thought it would be a fun project to do on the side.
Like I said people lurk forums, which is what I do 99% of the time, I've even used advice from this forum to build my PC, I'm just not actively contributing to a subject where I'm no expert, I use it as a resource to learn.
I finally decided to join the forum because the competition looked like fun...

Congrats Zanne, can confirm that the chair is very comfy, ideal for getting over any sore bottoms that may have occurred recently.

I still don't buy it. Welcome to the forums none the less but in all honesty I don't think we will see any activity or you even logging in here in a few weeks. This may look like a dig or like it's aimed at you personally. It really isn't and like I said there was no rule in place so none of the 4 accounts who signed up just for this competition have really done anything wrong. It is just as @Brizzles has said, a real kick in the teeth for people who have been members here because we love the community and try our best in competitions. This conversation is really about OCUK taking feedback from regular community members and going from there, maybe introducing a minimum post count or join date to avoid anything like this but then again as OCUK are a business can they really do that, i don't know. These are just my thoughts.
By all accounts I am not someone who posts here everyday, I kind of post and be active in spurts but I do log in pretty much everyday.

Yay thank you so much!
I'm more of a lurker but I regularly check the forums and have been doing so for years. My friend is the one who encouraged me to enter this competition (he's a long-time member) as I have anxiety issues and find it hard to post on forums like this.

That's pretty much what Mike Westgate also said, I too have anxiety issues and have had that mixed with depression for 10 years, it's an on and off battle. So I understand how it feels.
Congratulations on the win, enjoy the chair!
