David Coe Wins Excel Monkey Contest

Awhile back we announced the Excel Monkey TShirt Contest.  All was good, but then I got a little lax about announcing the winner :)

Well, the judges (me, Denny, and Chris) huddled and it was unanimous.  The man who started it all, David Coe, takes home the fabulous prizes… once those prizes are in print :)

100% Authentic Quote from the Winner Himself

“Wow.  I am speechless.  This is truly the most magnificent thing to happen to me in days.”

     (OK, he didn’t say that.  I just made that up.  His REAL quote was:)

“Wow, I can’t believe my monkey didn’t get spanked”

     And no, I did NOT make that one up :)

Prizes

As a reminder, the prizes are three autographed books – one by Denny Lee and company, two by Mr. Excel:

Denny Book Bill Book 1 Bill Book 2

Entries Recap

Here was David’s winning entry:

Runner-Up – Entry from Dan English:

Our fine CEO at PivotStream, Jeff Elderton, submitted this entry that I think was perhaps a little tongue-in-cheek:

And Thiago Zavaschi submitted this concept sketch that he was hoping the design department here at PowerPivotPro could flesh out better.  Sadly, there is no such department.

Congratulations David!

    Ahm.. I didn’t born to be a designer, definitely. :(

    And the question now is: When winner’s t-shirt will be available here in Brazil? :)

    Depends on the interest level. If there’s a lot of interest in these, I’ll have some made up. If only 3 people want them, well, ahem.

    So let’s start here: if you are interested in a tshirt, leave a comment here. If enough people reply here I’ll post and test broader interest.
