Creative web designers are always involved in different projects. Some time ago they had a chance to show their skills while taking part in the Nordic Art & Graphic Challenge 2008. This contest was running from September, 27 to November 22.

Designers from all over the world took part in the Nordic Art & Graphic Challenge 2008. Those who wanted to participate in this contest had to register over on the Addictive Hobby Forums and post their entries in the official contest thread. The main contest theme was Viking or Scandinavian mythology. So the participants were asked to illustrate the Scandinavian legends and myths about ancient heroes, gods, and the creation and destruction of the universe. Each participant could offer one work only but this work could be of any style. It was also mentioned that the artwork that took part in the contest should have been created within the last year and had to be wholly owned by the artist. The contest was judged by experienced and inspirational artists Philip Straub and Rob Chang.

Recently the winners of The Nordic Art & Graphic Challenge 2008 were announced. Here are the works that have been acknowledged to be the best of all designs that took part in the contest.

The Nordic Art & Graphic Challenge 2008 offered a lot of useful prizes. It became possible thanks to the sponsors. The fist prize web template is offered by the main sponsor TemplateMonster.com. Those who took the second, third, fourth and fifth places will also get useful prizes such as graphics packs, texture packs, and etc.

This contest has shown that creativity should be awarded.
