"I believe, that we can all agree that the Challenge didn't run as well as expected, organization wise..."
I do not agree. I think it ran better than expected, even though our entry did not win. They are working to provide examples of entries that did win. These are entries the public will appreciate. Please read the threads with the winners talking and the joy in their banter. Even for those who sacrificed much in pursuit of a prize not won, the picture of our winners is a really beautiful thing that every human should appreciate! Pictures of the winners and their applications is the best PR in the world. The contest was well run and well judged. Google is doing fine on PR.
