Mimobot x Infectious Design Challenge Winners

As you may or may not have heard, Mimoco recently partnered with Infectious (the cool guys that make community designed goodness like iPhone & Laptop skins) for the second contest in our community-designed series of MIMOBOT flash drives. We received an astounding 666 (OH NOOO, the mark of the beast) entries this time around and we'd like to thank everyone that entered! The designs were all amazing and it was impossibly hard to chose, but they finally chose the winner and five runners-up!

Drum roll please... TheGrand Prize Winner is GiddyUp by Hila Rosenberg Arazi!

Hila is an Australian artist who was born on the shortest day of the year. Hence, she loves to draw tiny things. We are so glad she entered our Infectious X MIMOBOT Design Challenge because her whimsical dreamy illustration is going to make for a killer MIMOBOT. Hila will receive a MIMOBOT and Infectious Prize Pack, a $1000 cash prize, and her design made into the next community-designed MIMOBOT flash drive! Watch for Hila’s GiddyUp design to be available in MIMOBOT form in early 2010.

The five runners up, who will each receive MIMOBOT and Infectious Prize Packs are, in no particular order:

• Marvin: The Pirate Flash Drive by jacoporosati
• Hi, it’s Jimmy Totem! by Aphte
• Mictlantecuhtli by Julio E Carrillo
• whoopz!! where’s my head at?? by arief rfirman
• Pink invader by Patricio Rodriguez Carmona
  

The winners were narrowed down by voting from the Infectious community and then chosen by a special panel of judges consisting of the great guys at Infectious,the aficionados of cute at FriendsWithYou, and of course the MIMOBOT specialists here at MIMOCO. Thanks everyone for participating, and for making this the biggest and best Infectious design challenge yet. Congrats to the winners!
