Design Your Own Myachi Winners!

by Crazy Ivan


Let me start by thanking everybody who submitted a design.  All the great entries made it really hard to pick a top 3.  In fact, it was so hard that we gave up and decided to pick a top 4 and add an extra prize.  A lot of entrants obviously put a lot of time and effort into their designs and I wish we could have upped it to a dozen prizes or more.

But of course, every contest has to have a winner (or several).  All of the winning designs will get a free 5.0 Myachi of their choice and the top prize will also receive an additional limited addition Pakistan Myachi of our choice.

But you guys and gals have been waiting patiently for this announcement so I won't make you wait any longer.  Without further ado, I present the winners:

 #4) The Stars and Stripes (submitted by Delena) 

This patriotic beauty won Animal and Ivan's 3rd place vote and an honorable mention from Monk and Mav.  The debate over 3rd place more or less forced us into adding this one as an additional prize.

 #3) The Blue/Red Swirl (submitted by Ivan) 

Coming in at 3rd place is the top design from a dude who darn near designed an entire series during the two weeks of this contest.  He had a couple of designs that were major contenders but after much discussion we all agreed that this was his best.

 #2) The Graffiti (submitted by Issac) 

Unfortunately Facebook wouldn't let me grab a more detailed version of this sack but I'm sure you can see from here that it's a beauty.  He had a couple of other groovy designs and Maverick strongly suggested that we give him two places in the contest.  Awesome designs but we all (more or less) agreed that this was the best.

 #1) The Tie-Dye Peacock (submitted by Rotscale) 


A beauty of a design that reminded us of the legendary Tie-Dye Snakeskin (enough so that Animal suggested the name above).  This was one of the many designs that we actually sent to our manufacturer in hopes that we could find a similar fabric.  All the Myachi Masters who voted put this sack at either 1st or 2nd place so a well earned win for Rotscale.

Quick note to the winners.  You can claim your prizes at Myachi HQ but for a lot of our contestants that isn't really a viable option.  Feel free to call Pinky at (516) 801-4949 Monday through Friday between 9 and 5 (eastern time).  You can tell her which 5.0 you would like and (with parental permission if under 18) your address so that we can send out the prize.

And a quick note to those who didn't win.  We really appreciate your submissions and were blown away by a lot of the creativity we saw.  There weren't enough prizes to go around so we had to let some really good designs go unrewarded.  We'll be announcing the start of another contest later on today so better luck with the next one!

  2. We can mail it to you if that would be easier, bro. Still, it would be awesome to give you an excuse to make it out to HQ. I don't think you've seen the mural in person since it was finished...
