WinCustomize Christmas/Holiday Skinning Contest 2011
Friday, November 11, 2011 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize News
We are approaching the holiday season and this has always been a popular skinning holiday as decorating a desktop is almost as fun as decorating your house for Christmas. We already have a great gallery full of holiday themed skins, but lets reinforce that with some fresh new designs. This time we are just going for a free-for-all casual contest where any skin type is welcome as long as it’s available at WC for download.
The rules:
- Contest runs from November 11th to Friday, December 16th, 2011.
- Any skin type accepted, as long as it’s one available on WinCustomize.
- No limit on skin submissions, but remember quality over quantity.
- WC moderation is still in effect.
- Judges are the WC admins/mods. Skins will be judged on quality and creativity.
- Skins/images must be original content.
- In skin description, please put “WC Holiday Contest 2011”.
Remember, this is a fun contest to create and share holiday skins. We are looking for creative holiday ideas and how they are turned into a function skin or usable wallpaper. As mentioned this is open to all skin types on WC, but of course I’d recommend popular categories like WindowBlinds, Wallpapers, CursorFX, DeskScapes, etc.
The prizes:
- 1st place:
- $25 gift card
- Object Desktop subscription
- WinCustomize subscription
- Featured in the new upcoming WinCustomize Magazine
- Paragon Backup & Recovery 11 Home
- Runner-up: Object Desktop subscription, $10 iTunes gift card
- 3rd place: WinCustomize subscription
I’m still working on getting some more prizes, but all skins will be featured on the front page of WinCustomize and it’s various social outlets which is great exposure for the artist.
Can’t wait to see what’s submitted!

I know several people who are working on skins, and I imagine many others.
I'm still working on getting some additional prizes as well.

I look forward towards seeing what will be released this year.
Any chance that any classic Christmas Windowblinds might be updated for Windows 7? If not, any chance that someone might update them or show me what needs to be fixed and help walk me throught it?
Two of my hands down favorites are Plastic Fantastic Christmas Edition by Vstyler and ChristmasTime by Moremegil and both will kind of somewhat work with Windows 7, but there are a number of issues on each which really hold back on regular use until they are fixed. Both have Start menu issues, and a few minor issues with the windows frames, etc.

If I can get out of this funk, and get caught up, I may try my hand at a Christmas DX. I've been sick for over a week and have gotten behind.
Looks like we may have some good stuff coming from the others!! I can't wait!
