The contest is running along great—lots of quality submissions. I've got a couple more prizes to announce, as well as a selection of some of the top entries so far. Let's see how the competition is coming along. It's always great to see the work done in the PSDTUTS Flickr group. This time there are prizes on the line.
Prizes Update
We have an update on prizes. The runner up will receive a Complete Vector or Texture Set from GoMedia's Arsenal (The runner up can choose the set). Third place will receive $50 in FlashDen credits. I updated the original contest announcement with the prizes, and I'll keep working on getting us some more.
Some Great Submissions So Far
When placing your submission into the Flickr pool, it would be best to indicate that it's an entry in the contest and the tutorial(s) on PSDTUTS that you used techniques from. Also, more than one entry is OK.
Great use of technique and a polished final design will certainly catch our eye, but consider how you can use the skills you've been learning, and create something unique with them. Good luck to everyone! Keep up the great work! Below are a few submissions that stand out so far.

1st and 3rd ones are very good. I would say the 5th one was good if it was original, and I know the person is just trying to perfect their techniques but I just think they could have done something a little unique and original with it.

That second example with the elephant looks great!

@Ben – The biggest thing is learning from the techniques and improving your design work. Winning is the icing on the cake, but going through the process will help you grow as a designer.
@Carlos – Yah! Good points about being unique. The winners will need to have high points for originality. That’s the biggest point of the contest. Your comment is accurate. While, all the examples above are good design, they don’t all take that needed step of personalizing and coming up with an original concept. The idea is to take what you learn and make a great original design from it. Thanks for pointing that out.
