The judging panel of the 4th Artec Snowboards design contest have been busy whittling down a host of original, inspirational and creative board designs to select this year’s lucky winners.

With a record number of entries, it was a tough task to pick one lucky winner to receive a one-of-a-kind custom Artec snowboard featuring their winning art, plus a Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) set, complete with games and accessories. The 2nd and 3rd places received an Artec Team Snowboard and Sony PSP freebie. The top 10 designs will all be exhibited in the Art Gallery at the Artec Snowboards booth at Ispo Winter 08.

After lengthy review, the panel of team riders and Artec creative personal awarded Philipp Uhlig from Germany first place, making him the proud owner of a unique snowboard featuring his very own creative work. Lorenzo Quintanilla of the Netherlands and Octavio Gomez of Spain took 2nd and 3rd place respectively.
