A few weeks ago we held a contest on the site called Shoe Shine Saturday ^[1].

Readers submitted photos of their best shoe shine, and the pictures were judged by the quality of the shoe shine and the creativity of the photo. KIWI Shoe Care ^[2] was kind enough to sponsor the contest by offering some awesome shoe shine kits to the winners. And we threw in a handsome, handmade, wooden shoe shine box for the grand prize winner.

We received over 180 awesome submissions. After going through them all, we’ve selected a grand prize winner and a runner up.
