All Grown Up

Thursday, February 14, 2008 by BX | Discussion: WinCustomize News

On August 10, 2005, the first ever WC Community Skinning Contest started and was sponsored by Ama02, Fairyy~, BX (me), Bichur, Jafo and Apocalypse_67. It was such a marvelous experience which could never be forgotten.

After a while we had the second WC Community Skinning Contest named as WC Community Skinning Contest: The Holiday Edition. The contest started on September 3, 2005 and hit new heights of success. Last time, the sponsors were Bones2112, Brewman, Bichur, Me, Hus and Apocalypse_67.

We have found some very nice skinners from these community sponsored skinning contests.

Why no dream category? I thought I read from a mod in the Alienware contest that we'd have another shot in the wincustomize contest.

I wonder if people know that there is a community skinning contest going on?    Oh well, maybe we can just give away the prizes! Not a chance, you want one you have to enter the contest. What are you waiting on?

Well, as we move on to another day, we currently now have 2 Cursors, 1 ObjectDock and 1 WindowBlind entered in the community skinning contest.  

I know it's early in the contest and that there are several weeks to go. We are all looking forward to seeing entries from not only the established but also the new skinners in the community.  

Good luck to everyone uploading an entry.

Okay, one week has gone by with several entries being uploaded for the contest.     

I know there is a lot of time left and that most of the entries will probably come in the last week. You folks are just trying to make them perfect, aren't you?  

Here's a thought folks, if you have uploaded a skin in one of the 4 categories, that are part of the current contest, but didn't know that a contest was going on, take a look at the rules. If your skin qualifies, why not consider editing your description with "3rd WC Community Skinning Contest".

Come on, nothing to lose and a chance at a whole bunch of nice prizes to win.

You read my mind. I was trying to think of some way to get people's attention. There might be a lot of people that don't know there is a contest. Maybe an update post on the home page?

What's that they say about great minds?    Relax, they weren't thinking about us.  

If I can figure how the smart folks do it I will make a post showing a thumbnail with a link to the current entries. It's time the rest of the community starts seeing them.
