The results of our first contest ever, the Mod Your Mac Contest, were underwhelming at best. Here is the breakdown:

257 emails about the contest. 256 asked legitimate questions about deadlines, submission methods, where to get the skins, etc. which I answered both in email and by making a post dedicated to user questions. 1 of the 257 emails told me the prizes were “stupid”. In reply to that, based on the number of entries I got, I’m glad I didn’t spend more on prizes now. So there was interest, and the contest was promoted everywhere online, by myself and many other people, link sites and forums. Lesson learned: interest is not the same as participation.

After all the emails and interest, how many actual, official entries did we get? ONE. So, the winner by default is the one entrant, who will receive a set of iPod speakers and an iTunes gift card. Her computer can be seen below:

Congratulations, Cyndy! Cyndy achieved her look by a combination of DecalGirl skin, MacStyles MacPadz and Flamez, and a zCover in Ice Purple laid over the glowing MacBook Pro keyboard, among other things..

Will we run another contest? Absolutely. Hopefully the response will be even better next time. I’ll consider this first contest a learning experience. Besides I have that second set of iPod speakers to get rid of.
