Since it’s “award season” for movie actors, it seems an appropriate time to reveal the winners of our NOOO! Face contest. This contest was all about mugging for the camera. We asked our Fearless Web fans to make a face of themselves as if they discovered that their computer had been hacked or attacked by cybercriminals.  Then we asked that they take a snapshot of these faces and submit to our contest. Yeah, it was that simple.

Winners were determined by impartial judges along with the votes they received from the Fearless Web fans who visited our Fearless Web Nooo Face Contest page at the end of last year. Now, a drumroll please….The grand prize winner of $5000 is:

Stephanie Johnson 

Stephanie is obviously very upset that her laptop has been compromised by the worst that the Internet has to offer. And obviously, she should have had Trend Mirco Maximum Security on her computer to protect her from the online evils that lead to this kind of anguish.   

The first place winner of $2500 goes to the truly-in-pain-looking Albert Lin.

The following five individuals earned $500 for second place honors with their creative photos and expressive faces:

• Ron Maue  
• Virginia Minter  
• Lucy Richards  
• Nikolas Vaselopulos  
• Donna McCombs

There were 10 honorable mentions: Douglas Harrison, Christopher Hobbs, Michelle Hudak, Jason Kreun, Karen Kuty, Kevin Michael Huffer, Emmanuel Stevenson, Kipp True, Dora Wheeler, and Cody Williams. Each won a free 1-year subscription to Trend Micro™ Titanium Maximum Security. Congratulations to all the winners.
