Meet the Winners of our Steampunk Pin-to-Win Contest!

The right honorable judges at SteampunkGoggles.com have been reviewing all the entries submitted to our Pin-to-Win contest, and we are ready and excited to announce the winners! The contest put out a call to all Steampunk lovers to create a Steampunk board on Pinterest using a combination of pictures from our site, hashtags, captions, and other Steampunk photos. Each entry was judged on creativity, composition, and, of course, following the rules. It was very hard to choose between so may great boards but in the end we did narrow it down to first, second, and third place!

Here are the bios and boards of our three winners! Congratulations to them and thanks to all of our entrants!
