The results of the contest are out. Here are the winners. The winning presentation is this one:
These are beautiful presentations, but all of them are written in a similar style (high pace, big image, big words) that is only suited for a specific set of topics/presentation settings.
UPDATE. I tend to agree with many of the comments on Guy Kawasaki's blog (he was one of the jury members).
These slides are beautiful, they adhere to the maximum graphics / minimal text rule. But, the result is a presentation that is great for high-paced clicking online, but probably not the ideal format for a big live presentation.
I particularly liked one observation that these slides are in fact disguised bullet point slides: 0.5 bullet points per page instead of 5 bullets per page.
