Being a personal fan of the Steampunk genre and of industrial/mechanical-themed art in general, scrolling through the list of this year's entries is really a treat. Once again I am blown away by the creativity and ingenuity of the builders who congregate on CBN, and I certainly don't envy the hard choices the judges had to make.
First Place ($250.00 prize pack): Tom Thompson
Second Place: ($125.00 prize pack): Michael Naiman
Third Place: ($75.00 prize pack): Graeme
Fourth Place: ($50.00 prize pack) John Bernyk
Note: Keith Alan, the original first place winner, has chosen to withdraw his entry, so we have bumped everyone up one step.

As an added bonus this year (see first comment below for reasons) every non-winning entry will get a $25.00 coupon code usable at the Cigar Box Guitar superstore, http://www.cbgitty.com.
Congratulations to the winners, and a hearty "good job" to all of you! In the next week or so, I will be sending messages to the winners and all other entrants via private message here on CBN to provide info on your prize packs and coupon codes.
Thank you,
Ben/C. B. Gitty

PS: A big thanks to Ben. And the judges.
shame Kieth withdrew his entry. was a friggin awesome guitar
HELLO,And thanks a lot CB,Gitty for your generous gift! Congrats to all the winners and partisepents from the Nation.
Dit not expected to win anything whit all the great builders in the Nation,for me its the most Fun that i CAN partissepate,for me thats the Main thing.Keep Playing and Building You All !! Greetszzzz A.D. BCB CBG,s Holland.
I am not clear on what happened here, but screw it! Great gits and Ben doing his best. to make things right. There is a saying about no good deed going unpunished. There is truth in that. Long live the nation. Congrats to the builders.
Keith decided to withdraw his entry and end his membership on CBN. He felt it was the right thing to do. He wasn't asked or pressured to do so, at least not that I know of. So we had to decide what to do about the contest, and we decided to just bump the other winners up a notch, which made Tom Thompson the 1st place winner and brought John Bernyk, who had been #5, into the #4 spot. Everything else, including the $25 coupon for all contestants, still stands.
It's a bit messy, but it wouldn't be an internet contest without at least some shenanigans.
Well, thanks for the explanation. Good wishes to Kieth, a great builder and player.
And Ben, I used to run a lot of events and no matter how hard I tried, too often someone was not happy or felt snubbed. It sucked, because I sure did my best as it appears you have done. The best thing to do is look at all the good side (quite a bit here I think) and move on.
I hope your skin is thicker than mine and that we have more contests and fun events.
