We had several independent judges that were asked to rate each post on a scale of 1 to 10 based its overall quality and creativity. I averaged all of these scores to determine the winners. Number of comments, amount of tweets and general social engagement was also looked at as a secondary metric that we used to determine the tie breakers (which there were several)

Awesome. It looks like a pretty cool contest.
Thanks Edwin.
Wow, now that is what I call great prizes! Alex’s articles definitely deserves being in first place. The analogy he used is great and you can get to learn some useful tips and tricks. Not saying that the other two posts are bad though. Judges definitely had a big struggle deciding who to give the first award.
