First, I’d like to thank everyone who entered in the Made in Germany contest (and any of the other Blogmania contests!) The response was great and I had a lot of fun reading all your responses about things you like about Germany. The beer and the food here were the most talked about — and with good reason!

I decided to use And the Winner Is, a plugin for WordPress, to select the 3 winners in this contest. All early entries were combined with the regular entries and the winners were chosen randomly.

The winner of the US prize package is: Melissa Cardenas from Sweet Beans of Life

The winner of the Europe prize package #1 is: TJ from Studio Mailbox

The winner of the Europe prize #2 (the kiddy car seat) is: Laurel of My Expat Germany

Congratulations to all 3 of you!!  I’ll be contacting you shortly via email to get your details.

The winners will have 48 hours to respond. If for some reason they do not confirm their prize, a new winner will be drawn.

Thanks again, everyone. And if you entered any of the other 60 giveaways being held during this Blogmania 2011 event, be sure to stay tuned in. The winners should be announced over the course of the day!
