Thank you for pointing out this mistake, we have gone and corrected the listing of your win to the correct location. Sorry for this inconvenience.

While I can't comment on the selection of any particular winner, some entries were disqualified by not following the rules stated in the contest, so despite their perceived level of quality they could not be considered.
