EVENT: Most Creative Winamp skin

Which Winamp skin was the most original overall? This was a pretty tough call for our judges as there were some really wild designs. But when the dust settled, here were the winners (and it was close. we mean really close)...

Enkera 883

Congratulations to all the winners. This week had some incredibly close events. Judges go through and give skins up to 10 points. And when it was all done, some of these entries won by only a point or two over what came in 4th or 5th.

Because of how close things have been, the Best overall skin will be individually judged rather than just adding medal points up (we had left this up in the air to see how things went). So the overall winners may be different from the winners of the individual events. Stay tuned!

Congratulations to all!

VectorCell is the best skin in the history skinning. Period. It is extremely usable, well designed, and I don't seem myself changing it for a long time to come. Congrats b0se, you are the best skinner out there.
