<h3>The Best Result<br /></h3>
<p>For me, beside meeting good friends and works, one of the best results of the contest is this poster:</p>
<p><img src="http://coreldraw.com/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.PostAttachments/00.00.05.95.39/my_2D00_entry_2D00_needs_2D00_your_2D00_vote.jpg" title="My entry needs your vote, made in CorelDRAW X4 by Ahmad Ajlouny" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>A poster I made in Corel<b>DRAW X4</b> to promote my entry in the
CorelDRAW Design Contest 2009. The poster is based on the most imitated <a title="Lord Kitchener Wants You from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Kitchener_Wants_You">Alfred Leete's recruitment poster</a> for <a title="Kitchener's Army from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitchener%27s_Army">Kitchener's Army</a>, where Lord Kitchener calls upon British citizens to enlist for the First World War.</p>
<p>In mine, I'm calling upon you to vote for my entry: "<a href="http://coreldraw.com/media/p/58316.aspx">You better be good at being good</a>", I appreciate your comments and ratings :)</p>
