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.

How often can they pull it to modify and resubmit? Is there a dead line on that?

I think it would be better if you submit the new WB as too much time has passed since it was submitted.
The skin should only be pulled off for bug fixing. Normally bugs come under light within few hours of submission.

Oh, and if I remember to double-check the .dockzip this time. Nothing quite like having your very first attempt bounce...

Hi DonDodds,
You're absolutely welcome to join in the fun. Community stuff is just that, and exists in part to encourage new members to become involved.
Good luck & be sure to ask if you have any questions.

Thanks! Win or lose, I figure that ultimately it's about seeing people producing the very best that they're capable of.
But man, some of you guys are incredible. I can't wait to see what some of you real artists come up with.

YES! The real artists! The ones who struggle through rejection. The one's who very sweat is embedded in each pixel of the work they strain to perfect!
