So the contest has come and go, and we've announced our winners. But we are still talking about you, and the designs that have floated our way, on clouds of sweet design fairies and unicorns. We thought you might enjoy seeing some additional designs that drew our attention, just for the heck of it. And then check out the three winning designs at the bottom, if you haven't already seen them. Thanks, again, for all of your participation!

Open House + Voting Party
In the span of ten days, we saw tons of winner-worthy designs come through our inbox, making it extremely difficult to narrow the 2,000 or so submissions down to just 50 designs. When we finally did, we plastered those top 50 on a wall, brought in hundreds of dollars’ worth of catered bites, beer and wine, and then invited Portland's coolest of cool – including spray-paint artist and DJ Matt Stanger – to join us for one hoppin’ shindig.

Contest submissions from around the globe
Oh wow, so many great submissions have come in from folks vying for First Place in our 2nd International Design-A-Sock Contest. Not only that, they have come from places near and far, like Australia, Canada, Israel, Poland, and the Philippines. It just gives us this warm, fuzzy feeling to know that there are people all across the world who are joining us in talent and spirit. We thought you'd enjoy seeing a few of the buzz-worthy designs we have received. Remember, First Place winner gets $500 cash plus 10 pairs of socks and bragging rights, since the winning design joins our line of socks already on the market.

Fun Wedding Style for the Groom
It’s becoming a trend at this point. And we love it. Yep, we’re talking about groomsmen wearing fun socks. Playful socks. Socks that catch your eye and make you grin. Already we have seen a few publications go this route, asking us for images and ideas, from Oregon Bride Magazine to Phoenix Bride and Groom.
