Winner in the MyHeritage.com Holidays Charts Contest

Today we closed the voting for the Holidays Charts Contest - to see the voting list click here.

We added up votes from all our different language blogs to get a final result: German, Spanish, French, Dutch and Portuguese.

We noticed that around the world the tastes for designs were a little different. In France people preferred images of nature in the background; in the english speaking countries people preferred simple and clean designs.

Neverthless,  the design that shows family images is the most popular around the world. Here we present the winners:

First place goes to Chart No. 7 that belongs to Aline Machado. She lives in Brazil, has a family tree with 1312 people and has in her family site 1578 photos. She will receive a voucher for $200 to be used with our printing service.

Winning this competition has come at just the right time, the camera is brilliant. It is one of my best christmas presents!
