We promised a pm announcement and we achieved it ... just. When Thomas and I (Britany) agreed to judge the contest, little did we realise just how difficult it would be, hence the delay in announcing the winners. The quality and variation of the top wallpapers was so astounding, that we struggled to whittle down our list.

The criteria we used were originality, artistic ability, application of Star Wars & Christmas in the design, and suitability as a desktop.
