That’s right folks, another year’s icon design contest has reached its conclusion and with it, we are pleased to announce the Grand Prize, Runner-Up and People’s Choice winners of Pixelpalooza 2003. Needless to say that with 137 entries from all corners of the globe, the judges had their work cut out for them.
