In all these years running Banters and Contests, I have never seen such an overwhelming response and turn out. As such, narrowing down to just 10 entries proved to be far more difficult then I had originally expected. For the last few days, I have been starring at list of about 20 entries, unable to eliminate an entry and get the list down to the 10 winners. But it had to be done. I'll admit that the top 10 entries were randomly listed below; I just couldn't pick the best out of those 10 best entries. It's currently Tuesday 1:22AM (though I'm posting this on Monday!), my brain is shutting itself down, as I'm way past my bedtime!
So without further ado, here are the 10 winners of the "Women of EVE" Contest. Congratulations to all participants, and to these 10 bloggers in particular!
- The Ghost Report: Eve Blog Banter: The Girls Who Fly Spaceships
- “Prove It”: Women In EvE
- Blog Banter #17 – Women in Eve
- The Ladies of New Eden (An Analysis on How Men are not from Mars, & Women are not from Venus)

- Space Broker: Gal-Ristas!
- Tech 2 stilettos
- It's a woman's world (they just don't know it yet!)
- Ladies of New Eden

- 1st Place: $75 in EVE Store merchandise [and 100 million ISKs]
- 2nd Place: $50 in EVE Store merchandise [and 100 million ISKs]
- 3rd, 4th & 5th Place: $25 in EVE Store merchandise each [and 100 million ISKs each]
- [Additional prizes for 6th to 10th place: 100 million ISKs each]
I'll drop a comment on each of the winners post later today and ask either update their entry mentioning their win (and their email address and character names), or doing so in a new post on their blog.

Congrats, winners! Definitely some awesome entires in the lot, but these were indeed the best! Looking forward to more great banters in the future!
My apologies if I'm missing the obvious... but will the top 3 be announced later on or were they chosen randomly from the top 10?
In any case, it was certainly and honor and quite a bit more fun than I expected! Thanks, CK
Thank you CK, Congratulations to all winners. Great blogs.
Glad everyone's happy with the results.
@Score - the order in which they are listed above is the final order, which was indeed done randomly since I couldn't not pick an order myself. Those 10 posts were too good! As were the ones I listed below. So much great material came out of the EVE Blog Banter!
Thank you CK for such a wonderful opportunity to apply ourselves creatively, and congratulations to fellow writers and winners!
It was indeed a great competition full of interesting entries!
Blog updated per your request.
