For the second week-long contest, we asked you to choose a word, choose a typeface, then combine them to create an interesting one-word type sample.
There were tons of great entries (see them in the comments section of this post), but in the end, five outshone the rest. The winners are:
Bree Smith for "Flip Flop"
Cassandra Mitchell for "Fresh"
APT. J | CREATIVE for "Bokeh"
Ron Haake for "Plagiarize"
Eloise Ardilya for "Giraffe"
The winner of the additional bonus prize, a kelly green Word T-Shirt from the Veer merch store, was Bree Smith!
Congratulations to all of the winners, and thanks to everyone who entered! Keep an eye out for another type-related contest coming soon.

Hi,
I went to the contest link you gave above, and to the @veer update and it's a clutter of responses, not necessarily more contests left to enter. Do you have to scroll through pages and pages? Twitter seems such a mess...am I the only one who feels this? How do you know which cpntests are still open?
thx
micki z.

Hi Dan - yes, it was up momentarily. The judges loved it, but you're only eligible to win one daily contest - and you were one of the lucky winners of contest #2. You are still eligible to enter and win the grand prize contest starting October 31st.
