Well, it certainly wasn't easy to pick a winner - you folks genuinely blew us all away with you entries - but we're very pleased to announce that the winner of our T-shirt contest, as picked by the band, is Valerie S from Louisiana. You can see her amazing prismatic design above.

Said Richard: "The design that we unanimously thought was the best is by Valerie S. I cannot believe how many talented people we have out there - I had a short-list of over 30 different designs in all manner of styles, but this one really stood out. Congrats Valerie, and thanks to everyone who took the time to design a shirt - we were blown away. I'm really excited to see the finished shirt!"

Valerie wins a framed T-shirt proof autographed by the band, five free T-shirts and a £100 gift card to the Keane web store. Plus, of course, she'll get to see other Keane fans wearing her limited edition shirt - which is now on presale in the Keane store (it'll be shipped in February).
