💥 Special Shoutouts 💥 Not in the top 3, but these designs left us marveled and couldn't pass without mentioning them 🌐 Hayleamlak Tesfaye's 3D Based Redesign 🔗 Redesign Link The 3D design by Hayleamlak Tesfaye is truly outstanding and innovative. The only reason this didn't win is because it's not a type of website you use for a company's business page. It's not really what Zemenay was looking for Nontheless, keep it up Hayleamlak, use this design for your personal portfolio and those who need a 3D navigable site. 🎨 Vector-Based Redesign 🔗 Redesign Link The simplicity, unique vector based artstyle and elegence of this design was nice to see. Alazar Nega, Abenezer Mesfin, Brook Lemma and Natanim Hailemeskel -although it didn't crack the top 3, the vector based style of design was really a great touch 🙌 To All Participants You’ve amazed us with your dedication and creativity. Whether you cracked the top 3 or not your work speaks volumes. You still have a lot of adventures to go on🚀

🎉 Zemenay Redesign Hackathon Results Are In! 🎉 Hackers, you brought your designs, and the judges have spoken! After an electrifying round of creativity, innovation, and unique designs, we’re thrilled to announce the Top 3 Winners 🥁: 🏆 1st Place - Yared Mehari 🔗Redesign Link Yared's design accumulated the most aggregate score from the judge's and hence, took the number one spot His purple based aestetic and theme, followed by the design and implementation of the pages gave the design just the neccessary edge 👏 🥈 2nd Place: Shueb Ahmed 🔗 Redesign Link Shueb's designs was also immaculate and thematically outstanding. Maybe it was just shy of number 1, but still, an amazing design nontheless 🥉 3rd Place: Amanuel Alemu 🔗 Redesign Link This redesign also had strong positives with the color pallets, smooth animations and content layout. Although it lacked some features which ultimately held from going all the way
