Announcing The Winners Of Our HUGE Anniversary Contest

Our massive five-year anniversary contest wrapped up yesterday and we were blown away by the number of responses and comments from our readers. When the contest closed we had a total of 2,935 entries from 509 unique entrants.

And no wonder there were so many entries in the contest. We had some amazing prizes up for grabs – 63 of them at a total value of over $5,000. Thanks to our wonderful sponsors for supporting this giveaway; we couldn’t have done it without you.

We used Rafflecopter to help us manage the contest and choose the winners. We’re thrilled to announce all 63 winners below:
