500Million Symfony downloads contest results!

Thanks to everyone for celebrating this milestone with Symfony!

The road to 500 Million Symfony downloads started on September 9th along with the #500Million Twitter contest! So many of you took part in the contest and shared your best celebration photos. We really did enjoy seeing your awesome pics!

Last week, as Symfony hit its 500 million downloads milestone (on Monday 26th September around 5:25 pm Paris time), many of you shared your love of the framework with the world. We received so many creative, hilarious, ingenious pictures of your personal celebrations that it wasn’t easy to choose the winners. Nonetheless, we had to decide. Our SensioLabs contest jury chose their favorites and here are the results… drumroll please… the winnings shots of #500Million.

We are so impressed with your great spirit, sense of fun and obvious joy. Whether jumping with your team, a silly selfie, a cake, candles, elephants, a special command, or even a cockatiel, we just died laughing as we went through the many entries!

Congratulations to the winners of this contest!

• Locastic will receive an annual subscription to the Blackfire Premium Plan
• Extension will receive an annual subscription to the SensioLabs Insight Basic Plan
• Matyas Somfai has won the voucher to take the certification
• Mari Developer and Sergio each win a Symfony elephant
• Last but not least, Andréia Bohner and Tomas Votruba will receive one of our fabulous Symfony mugs.

We’ve had such a great time this past week! Thank you again for your enthusiasm, participation and love and support for Symfony! To check all the photos of the celebration, go to our album!

Here at SensioLabs, we genuinely care about our community. We look forward to meeting you at our next big, international event, SymfonyCon Berlin, as the perfect place to wrap up 2016 and celebrate the 500 Million Symfony Downloads together!

Thank you for all the great moments and see you soon!
