And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for. We received so many amazing and well-designed sites that it took us all week to sort through and decide on the winners.

The decision was tough, and we’re tired.

Without further ado, here are the winners to the 2014 Yola Buildathon Contest:

Grand Prize
