Sure, the contest will have a clear winner. But when having "design"
contests of any kind, the actual outcome may vary greatly from the
winning submission. It's even fairly often the case that none of the
winning submissions are actually realized (for whatever reason, mostly
cost and/or different ideas of the people who decide), and even if they
are realized, they are often adapted to the needs and wishes of those
who decide.
All I'm saying is, you have to separate the winner of the contest from
the icon set that will be used in Haiku. They may look the same,
similar, or just different.
Bye,
