Our "What Not to Present" contest was epic! Many thanks to all of you kind folks that submitted entries and spread the word about it. Many amazingly horrendous slides were sent in from all around the world. We laughed. We cried. We cringed.

Stay tuned for future blog posts where presentation experts Garr Reynolds and Ellen Finkelstein will use your egregious contest entries to give you some valuable, free advice on how to make presentation slides that wow audiences (for the right reasons).

We randomly chose our top 3 winners, but then quickly realized that we had to do more. So we are giving away ANOTHER projector to the slide we thought was the most horrendous. We passed the ugliness around the InFocus offices and to many of our partners pandering for votes -- and we have a winner!

First, our random winners:

1st prize (an InFocus IN1501 Projector): @broegge

2nd prize (an InFocus LiteShow III Wireless Adapter): @ChrisSnider

3rd prize (an InFocus Presenter RF Remote): @garyguate

And the winner of the worst slide is...

@tmiket for the “IT Modernization Roadmap” to the depths of hell. He wins an InFocus IN102 Projector!

Congratulations to the winners! We're very happy you joined in on the fun.
