Seasonal Skinning Contests!
Friday, October 15, 2004 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
It's time for the skinners to start getting a piece of the action. And so starting Monday, we are going to begin running on-going contests in which at the end of that contest the top 10 winners get a percentage of the income we earn from WinCustomize subscriptions.
The winners will be calculated based on subscriber downloads of skins that are submitted AFTER the contest begins. A single author can win multiple positions in the top 10.
This first contest is on WindowBlinds skins. So starting Monday, we'll be tracking the number of subscriber downloads of new WindowBlinds skins. On December 2, we'll then look at the top 10 and hand out the prizes.
Our goal is to encourage new, high quality skins to get submitted, reward skinners for their support, and encourage more people to subscribe to the site. It's only through WinCustomize subscriptions that we can afford to keep this site going.

Also, if I'm correct, the Admins only moderate the wallpaper, logon and bootskin categories for artistic values....everything else gets posted, be it butt-ugly or not, so long as it's functional and not going to eradicate anyone's PC. So I think that all skinners should be allowed to participate....site affiliations mean nothing...more skins is better.

I was referring to updating and resetting skins entered in the contest already,not previously existing skins...pardon the confusle
Also,if this is to promote subscriptions,it might be a good idea to only allow subscribers to dl any of the skins till after the contest is over.(of course you want everyone to be able to look,need to be able to see what they are missing
)Kinda like the differencs between blockbuster video and commercial tv

Should that be 'ENDS'?
