Inexhibit MyMuseum 1+1 contest results!

My Museum 1+1, our first creative contest dedicated to depicting a museum through an image and a short phrase, has reached the final stage. Winner and top 10 entries are now disclosed.
The only limitation to the competition was to depict an existing museum. Almost 100 entries were received and 62 from 25 countries accepted: the majority of the refused entries were so not for their quality but only because found out of the theme.
Some entrants submitted graphics or drawings while others preferred to describe their favourite museum through a photograph.
The contest was decided exclusively by Inexhibit’s visitors which rated their preferred entries. Inexhibit’s staff only performed an accurate clean-up of invalid votes, mainly from multi-registered users. Eventually over 1,200 valid ratings were expressed by our users. The winner, receiving a money prize of 400,00 USD, has been selected by combining the number of votes with the average rating through a tailored mathematical formula.

Here are the final results, and the winner is…
