A Votebank For Good Governance by sunrays

There was outrage and disgust against the political system in the aftermath of the Mumbai Terror Attacks. However, the only solution is to fix the political system is to make the politicians accountable for their actions by voting for Good Governance as highlighted by this splash.

Best of Humor at cplash 

Is the White House haunted? US Government wants to know by Bangalore

Even with all the disturbing happenings, one man always managed to bring a smile to everybody's face. That the best splash of this category had to go to Bangalore was easy to decide, what was really difficult was to zero down to that one splash. (One reason we requested the cplashers to nominate two of their best splashes was to try to make it easier for us to decide the best for this category, however Bangalore never made it easy for us :p ).

Bharat Ratna to Pandit Bhimsen Joshi! by Singhupendra25

Singhupendra25 , one of our Cplashers of the Year for keeping us updated with almost every major event throughout the year, packed this splash with well researched information about the maestro's life. It must have taken quite some effort to put in all the information in the concise splash.

Best of Zone Creativity 

STICK-TO-ITIVENESS by Ellen

It takes years of experience and wisdom to  show the right  path. Ellen, our pearls of wisdom, has them both. Amongst all her wonderful splashes, it was really difficult to chose one. In the end we decided on this splash for its message of stick-to-itiveness -  working hard  to achieve success.

Wish you all a very happy new year 2009.
