Now is the time for acknowledgements.
A big thank you to all contestants. You came in huge numbers and brought a lot of interest and enthusiasm as we know from all the feedback and questions you bombarded us with ;o)

If you didn't get the custom participation graphic yet, here it is again. Just right-click it and save it to your hard disk. Display it with pride. You deserve it!

A bear hug also for the five members of the Games & Contests Team of GeoCities Vienna. It took 8 weeks to prepare the contest.
There is Keith, the Contestmeister, who lives in Singapore. The little goodbye song you hopefully heard in the beginning started with a verse in Mandarin.
If you want to hear it again, Keith, this 's for you.
Then there is Marg, Graphicmeister, from Canada; Robert, Cluemeister, from Hawaii; Ashlee, Teenmeister, from Australia; and finally me, Florian, Pagemeister, dialing in from Minnesota.
I hope you can understand now why I don't have a group picture. And it goes without say that we all helped each other out.

Remains to thank again all the volunteer heart-hiders in the following Yahoo! Geocities Neighborhoods that made this contest so successful:
