We welcomed coolcapitals and Wacom back to Dwell on Design this year for another exciting graphic design competition. Over the course of the weekend, we named three winners and awarded each one a Wacom Intuos4 pen tablet.

Contestants were challenged to create a cover design for the iPhone and Blackberry that visually and graphically represents all five cool capitals—Amsterdam, Antwerp, Valencia, Vienna, and Zurich. Each entrant only had thirty minutes to come up with a concept and create a design.
