Here are the rest of the prize winners! I’ll be contacting you via email, so watch those inboxes!
All winners were selected randomly via Random.org and “independently audited” by Lori Degman (thanks, Lori). They were announced live on the Facebook group on Sunday morning.
Please see the full prize list here—and if you haven’t won but like what you see, please consider patronizing these wonderful vendors this holiday season! Many donated their prizes to an event they had never heard of. Let’s show them how worthwhile their support was!

Congratulations to you of all! Maybe next year for the rest of us! Even if i didn’t win a prize, I am a winner because I have a whole pocket full of new ideas to write about. Nov. 2011 was very good indeed. Thank you so much for all the work that went in to making it one of the best PiBoIdMo yet.

Congratulations to everyone! And yes, I’m going to say another word of thanks to Tara — organizing all this must be an enormous task, but you’ve done an incredible job, and we’ve all come away from the experience with stacks of new ideas clamoring to become picture books, we have new friends and a great community. Wonderful.

Congratulations to all prize winners (including myself!). This has been a great year over here for prizes, the biggest being the badge of completion. Thanks Tara and thanks to all of you that joined and participated. I’ve joined before, but never followed through. This year’s event was full of positive energy and people all striving for the same goal-and talking about it!!!! My notebook floweth over. I’m still on the PiBoIdMo cloud, jotting ideas and flushing out the stories. I hope you are too.

I can’t believe I won the vintage picture books! I love picture books, old and new, and this is such an unexpected, extra added gift. Thank you, Tara, for the greater gifts of each day’s post of Picture Book Idea Month.

Congratulations to everyone! .. to Tara for another successful PiBoIdMo, to the winners of prizes, to all participants for the ideas generated throughout November, to the guest bloggers and those who donated items .. because you have helped to inspire and motivate up-and-coming writers.
I look forward to PiBoIdMo 2012. Tara, it is going to be bigger than ever, with even more to organize and orchestrate. Get your rest! 😉

I’m so excited! Thank you so much! And congrats to ALL the winners. The month of November seemed to fly by as I worked on my file of ideas and also got to know so many writers as well. What fun! Thanks again!

Congratulations to all the winners–and aren’t we all? I never would have gotten 30 fresh ideas without this contest–that’s a wonderful “gift” to myself. I appreciate PiBoIdMo for setting up this contest and the great prizes. Having encouraging emails along the way really helped. Keep up the good work everyone!

I am so excited to have won a prize! Tara, do you need my address info? (I see from your last post you’ve just come back from a holiday break, so no rush but I wanted to be sure I didn’t miss an email or something)

Kirk Livingston
Tara – So when do I get the PiBoIdMo picture book that I won? I’ve not been contacted about it yet. (Like, what’s my address, etc?)
Any news?
