We launched the 2017 Kickoff Contest on January 16th and got ready to read some fantastic submissions from our talented contributors. We were not disappointed!

From January 16th through February 12th, we tallied the number of pageviews received by each unique contributor. Posts to our new Security Zone counted for double the pageviews for extra excitement and motivation. 

The ten contributors whose content received the most views over the full four-week period of the contest are listed below. Congrats! 

Prize Rank Name Total Pageviews
$250 First Grzegorz Ziemonski 87,256
$200 Second Tim Spann 69,277
$150 Third Sumith Kumar Puri 67,289
$125 Fourth Dan Newton 62,158
$100 Fifth Niklas Wuensche  43,501
$75 Sixth Sibanjan Das 32,488
$50 Seventh Sean Toner 31,660
$50 Eighth Daniel Stori 29,032
$50 Ninth Dmitry Slepov 27,386
$50 Tenth Ekaterina Novoseltseva 24,177

In addition to the monthly grand prizes, we also offered weekly prizes for the most pageviews received during each individual week of the contest. Each week, a second Zone (in addition to Security) counted for double the pageviews. Below are the weekly winners.
