Again, awesome jobs, everyone. There was something in every submission I liked a lot:
Mattwnelson: Love the soundwaves - the concepts I always personally thought up myself involved soundwaves in one form or another - I just think they look cool and add a nice effect. Also, the popcorn bag with the speakers submission was a nice touch too - a bag just fits for this sort of thing, and embedded speakers never occurred to me before.
Hor-riff-ic: Really loved the clarity of the image, as well as the dynamic of the microphone popping out. Great touch there. Very bold presentation.
Piobman: Again, love the clarity here as well - nice "classic" feel to it, and has a nice poster-friendly shape to it to boot. Super solid all around.
Imrahil: Great use of the classic "stripe" pattern, and the headphones were a great touch. Love the font too.
As great as everything was, however, I can unfortunately only pick one's submission. It really does bug me that I have to NOT pick someone, but that's the way it goes.
I've decided in the end to go with none other than
Piobman's submission, mostly for the fact that it struck me as the most complete and all-around solid image, and fit most the concept I was going for.
I hope everyone had fun with this, and maybe this will prompt other iRiffers to offer similar contests in the near future to give you guys further opportunities.

Thanks again, everybody!
