First of all sorry for not announcing the winner of the “Made in Berlin” Badge Contest before X-Mas as promised. The days before the holidays just turned out to be very busy with the opening of Ahoy! Berlin and the soft launch of Jobslike.me, where I am also involved with. So sorry for the delay! 

However, both the submission deadline as well as the deadline for voting on submissions were kept in place and the results are a great success: 

• More than 20 badge designs were submitted in only 4 weeks
• Almost 1.000 votes were gathered in only 1 week 

In the end it turned out to be a narrow race among three great contenders. Without further due, let me present you the top three:

3rd Place (Nadine Roßa of Launchco)

2nd Place (Jose Masaoy of Researchgate) 

1st Place and Grand Winner (Bjorn Isaksen of Tonic Design & National Beauty)

Congratulations Bjorn! You won a free rental of the cinema at Ahoy! Berlin, the oldest cinema in Berlin which boasts 80 seats and a stage and can be rented for events, workshops or conferences. 

Many thanks to everyone who participated in this contest for the time and effort they put into this. There was some truly great work done!

I will ask everyone else who participated if they allow me to share their submissions so i can showcase the other entries in a separate post. This way all these talented designers can present their work to a new audience. Will also ask Bjorn if he is ok with other sites integrating his badge and sending me the png in different sizes.
