This time the contest is not being hosted by me but I am really excited about the possibility of winning one of the prizes in this $4000 blog contest. The contest is being hosted by David Airey of http://www.davidairey.co.uk/. David is a graphic designer from northern Ireland and he is a master of great logos. He is hosting a one year anniversary contest with over $4000 worth of prizes. He’s not suppling them all, in fact there are many people who are giving away great prizes through this contest.
