Reasons to celebrate 15th April 2010


Karmic saw the first community wallpaper competition and delivered us a beautiful set of photographs for our desktops.

Last cycle’s winners were this cycles judges and everyone has delivered.

Ladies and gentlemen I give you the results of the wallpaper competition!


Congratulations to the winners and huge thanks to the judges. I know, from my experience as a judge last time, that the task is neither small nor simple and I would like to thank everyone for their hard work and for making such excellent choices. To the winners, congratulations and thank you for contributing beauty to our lives!
