Congratulations, Lyla A.!

Lyla A. of Ontario, Canada is the winner of the 2009 T-Shirt Logo Design Competition with this wonderful design!


The judges (who included writer friends and people at my publisher, Disney-Hyperion, as well as my literary agent) and I all loved how clever, clear, and beautifully executed the design was!

Well-done, Lyla. And thanks to EVERYONE who took part! We had over 100 entries, and I promise you there were some great designs.

(But, no, I'm sorry. I won't be posting any of the runner-ups because I don't have permission from the owners to do so. Also, it's not a popularity contest, and I'm afraid it would quickly spiral into one.)

In the very near future we'll be adding this design to the Ally Carter "store" at cafepress.com (and, don't worry, I'll let you know when that happens.)

In the meantime, congratulations again, Lyla, and BIG thanks to everyone who took part!

-Ally


ps...I will say that the final three were Lyla (obviously), Laura E.C., and Alexandria S.--job SUPER well-done!

pps...sorry for the problem with the file. Hopefully everyone can see it now.

That is sooo good! Congrats Lyla!

(And I am PRETTY sure I'm Alexandria S. I mean, that's my name...so unless there was another Alexandria S. that entered, I'm pretty sure that I was that third person.

>_> *spazzes out* Even though I didn't win, I'm really happy.)
