Aside from a cube-shaped trophy and exposure in the App Store, all Apple Design Award Winners receive a maxed out MacBook Pro and iMac Pro, an iPhone XS (512GB), a 12-inch iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, an Apple Watch Series 4, an Apple TV 4K, and a pair of AirPods.

I like how Moleskine reset their App Store app rating after this was announced (likely to get rid of the overwhelmingly negative response to their subscription pricing).
 
Geez, on a mac these links open up either iTunes or App Store, besides having a window open in Safari already...
 
Wow, you win the Apple Kitchen Sink if you win this.
(I know, the exposure is probably more important.)

I know, right? I could do without the Watch & AirPods, but I wouldn't mind the other stuff!

Kudos to everyone who won. I use Pixelmator a bit, and it's pretty good. I wonder what it would be like now with Pencilkit?
