The talented developers who'll receive goodie-bags are:

It's great to see new developers and users on My Opera take initiative, but also to win prizes! It also goes to show that anyone can win!

A very good Widget we want to spotlight for week #4 is Project Velt 2.2 by gyrobo.

We would also like to add a small thank you note about the worthy cause of raising awareness about homeless issues, with this widget: Homeless not hopeless.

calsbert is a new user, but he hasn't held back. As soon as he joined, he translated the Artist's Sketchbook for Grafio. Albert sure seems like a great guy!

December is just around the corner, along with a bigger competition with an even bigger prize. We won't say what it is just yet, but it's coming. All widgets uploaded now are eligible for the grand prize.

We'll fill you in on more details in a while... but for now, all you need to do is — make a great widget!

All good things must come to an end (well ... almost), and for the last five days we've been nailed in front of our computers in excitement. The race has been tight, but the one who pulled the longest straw won by 9 percent.

We're very proud to present the new owner of a Nintendo Wii. His submission was carefully planned, and really caught the essence of the contest. All, please congratulate GuitarBoy with his story "Photoblogging photoblogging..." who won first place with 32.4% of the votes.

Wael_CH came close, with 23.4% of the votes he rounds up nicely with a second place, and wins a Nintendo DS Browser Card.

PrettyHA8 came third with 20.1%, and wins an Opera goodie-bag

Thinkgeek, Hbazerbashi and Avheretic had all creative and excellent submissions, but unfortunately they did not come in the top-3. But we don't want anyone to leave empty handed, so we decided to give away an Opera t-shirt to each.

We had a lot of fun creating and planning this contest. We would like to thank everyone who submitted a photo blogin' story, but also to everyone who voted.
