Our kick-@ss panel of judges wrapped up their work a half-day early on Thursday evening, much to our immense gratitude. Our hugest thanks go to Stefan Bucher, Shannon Carter and Lisa Sanger for their keen eyes and strong backs. Stefan summed up their picks (more than 200 in all) thusly: "All the work used its format well and to the utmost." Right. Stay tuned for the April 2009 issue of HOW to see all the glorious designs. In the meantime, check out our gallery of past HOW award winners.
