New York City in July - with TypeCon2005 in town and mayor Michael Bloomburg's official "Type Week" proclamation, typography was hot in the city. In celebration of the events, FontShop held their first FontHunt competition. 

In a sort of typographic scavenger hunt, residents and visitors of the Big Apple were invited to grab a sheet of FontHunt goals and scour the city for interesting type and lettering. And scour they did. FontShop received hundreds of photos from FontHunters - from obscure street signage, to giant glyphs atop buildings, to letters baked into pie.

Five winners were chosen, based on creativity, quality, and sheer number of typographic goals captured. The Gold Cam and a cash prize of $500 went to a team of six lead by Tyler Imoto. The other winners are as follows:

Gold Cam ($500) 
Tyler Imoto, Thomas Bugarin, Sarah Evans, Kerry Ko, Tara McClain, and Pasha Prakasa

Silver Cam ($250)
Mike Danskin and Meg Wrenn

Bronze Cam ($100)
Elsa Ransom
