    Ok something stinks here. A person who enters a lot of contests with a lot of poor quality work suddenly runs a contest and then doesn'tpay up. Seems like he is just fishing for designs to use himself.

    Well, I am disappointed as well. Some feedback would have prevented me from spending more time on this contest. Also, this contest was running the whole time and was not cancelled before the end. Telboy, you mention, you used all the submissions after the contest was finished in your presentation to your advisory group. Therefore I would suggest, it is only fair, that you then also determine a winner of a design that comes closest to your expectation, even though you might choose not to execute it. You got really professional input in this contest, which you used, and not inferior work that might justify a withdrawal. I really feel taken here. Again, not encouraging to participate in Sitepoint contests in the future.

    Pff that`s a bummer, I have the same bad feeling as creativesplash. And I didn`t even get a mention for my brilliant work ;) haha

    Ow btw just because this site has labelled this work as a "contest" doesn`t mean the work we put in is any less then a design firm would.

    Ah well, all the best in your efforts at finding a design that suits you Telboy. Drop us a line when you`ve redesigned it so we can see how it turned out.

    This is not good news at all Telboy, a lot of time and hard work went into analyzing your requirements and putting them across to you in a presentable form. This may be called "a contest" but I am a professional and feel discouraged to participate in any of sitepoints contests.

    Well you have really wasted everyones time with this Telboy. How do you expect to get what you want when you dont provide feedback during the contest?

    Thank you all for your entries. I'm sorry for the delay in updating this. When I withdrew the contest I thought I had posted a comment explaining the withdrawal. The designs were shown to our web advisory group and none of them are what we are looking for.

    Many of the designs were excellent, I was impressed with the work of Ramiropy, creativesplash and
    narra but we will be heading with a different design for our rebuild.

    I would like to thank you all for your time and good luck with future competitions.
