Thanks to everyone that participated in, followed, and gave feedback for the Flavorpil Local Contest. Readers weighed in and our judging panel reviewed the final submissions and we have chosen a winner.

Congratulations to Nirav Sheth’s team and their winning design. Both readers and the judges were impressed with their intuitive integration of the Flavorpill event feed into the map, as well as the clever mashups with Outside.in, Meetup, and Foursquare, which means they’ll be taking home the full prize of $4500. In addition, the neighborhood page lets you see venue reviews via Yelp from listed events as well as local tweets.

Also a big thanks to Mike Schinkel and his team, whose version very effectively mashed up Flavorpill events, Foursquare, Flickr, Meetupmaps, drew nearly half the judge votes, and made us realize that we must bring it soon to Atlanta!

The stage is set for Flavorpill Local. Stay tuned for more on this project.
