Congratulations to our 2015 GeoNet Contest Winners

[TimothyHales]

We would like to announce the 2015 Grand Prize winners along with the winners of the second 2015 Semi-Annual GeoNet Contest held from July 1st - December 31st. This contest ran during the first and second half of the year and had a year long contest for our grand prizes.

We are thankful for the many users that encourage discussions, provide answers, and share knowledge throughout the community. They dedicate countless hours to helping others become more efficient with Esri products while also helping them grow in their GIS career.

We would like to especially thank a few of our members who have excelled as our top participants. These winners will be receiving a variety of prizes as outlined in the 2015 GeoNet Contest Prizes. Some of these prizes include a tablet, conference registrations, Amazon gift cards, Esri Certification Exams, ArcGIS Home Use Licenses, Esri Virtual Training, and Esri Press books.

Will there be a separate list for the ESRI staff who contribute to GeoNet?  I know they are not eligible for the contest, but do appreciate that they put in the effort to answer our questions

[JayantaPoddar]

Congratulations to all the members for your contributions on GeoNet​. I am learning from each one of you. Thanks Timothy Hales​ and team for managing such a wonderful community for GIS users.

[DavidBarnes]

Congratulations and a big thank you to all of the winners!

Big +1on Jayanta's comment. I learn every day from researching my questions, and reading other solutions on geonet. It's great to see such a live, active and giving community. Thanks to everyone participating, and especially Timothy and crew.

[WesMiller]

This site is a win-win for both questioner and contributor. The questioner normally gets an answer in a timely manner without have to pull their hair looking for the solution. The contributor has a chance to advance his\her skills in the exchange. Congratulations to all that participate and to the team that helps keeps this site running. I will add that this site tends to be addictive once you get your first correct answer you want to get another one IMHO.

[AdrianWelsh]

I agree with this and think that the Esri folks should be awarded for their time in these forums.

[TimothyHales]

I am working to gather up a list of Esri staff that I plan to have posted this week. Thanks!

Congratulations to the winners and thank you to ESRI for making such a valuable resource for those of us interested in GIS. I have learned so much from being active member of these forums, and I have finally learned enough to begin contributing! I will be answering questions as much as I can in the coming year. Congrats again to the winners!

[AdrianWelsh]

Thanks for putting this together! It is great to have these folks recognized.
