Thursday, September 25, 2008 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize News

http://images.stardock.com/badges/guic_128.pngThe 2008 GUI Championships start in just a few weeks, and we have been working hard getting everything ready, and I think it’s safe to say, this will be the biggest one yet.  The new website is just about done, and today we unveil the splash page for the GUI Champs website.  You can now go to www.guichamps.com and see all the details about the contest, including sponsors and official rules for entry.

Just a quick competition recap:

The 2008 GUI Championships is an international skinning competition held every two years.  Skinners from around the globe are invited to participate in several Windows GUI skinning categories to compete for great prizes and the recognition of their peers.

This year we're focusing on three main areas of Windows UI skinning:

  1. WindowBlinds Skins
  2. Icon Packages
  3. Animated Wallpapers

Prizes include:

  • Wacom Cintiq 12WX
  • Sapphire HD 4850 Video Cards
  • SnagIt & Camtasia Studio
  • DeviantArt Subsciptions
  • Object Desktop Subscriptions
  • Cash

I'd like to take a minute and thank all our current sponsors we have so far.  A big thanks to TechSmith, AMD, DeviantART, Stardock, and our newest sponsor, Wacom.  We also have more in the works, and more exciting news coming up.

So now, tell your friends and spread the link around to the GUI Champs '08!

And I don't mind him changing my post...the original is still there. I do it all the time to Mirsguy (in good fun) when he calls himself a dock freak, I quote it and take out the dock so it says "I'm a freak". Then I'll say "Yes, yes you are". He knows I'm playing with him.

Watchit, m1! Or I'll sick the deer after you!

Entries must not use logos, characters, or other imagery that is copyrighted/trademarked
