CLIPART and DRAW WINNERS

1st Prize USD750

This library contains six categories (Alpha Blocks [stackable], Bathroom, Kitchen, Misc, Stationary and Tools) with a number of 134 high quality graphics (150DPI png images with alpha transparency).

2nd Prize USD300

Andrew C. E. Dent

His Bullets collection is able to replace most of the bullets in the actual "Bullets" gallery. With alpha transparency and much higher resolution they look really "smooth" compared to the bullets used by now. It's a set of different colored bullets and even more black/white bullets for high contrast themes (accessibility).

3rd Prize USD250

Nicole Follet-Dunn

Clipart for Teachers will be quite useful to spice up school materials. They are not styled with sophisticated gradients and 3D-effects, but serve well for that purpose.

4th Prize USD200

Akira Matsumiya

Sale.otg uses text fields to enter old and new prices which are then formatted automatically.

5th Prize USD200

Gisbert Friege

His DPTC_pyramids.otg is a useful template to print out exercise sheets for primary school for teaching addition and multiplication.It's macro based and Draw is used to draw the lines of the pyramids and to print it out.
