KarmaGirl's Christmas WC Subscription contest

Wednesday, December 10, 2003 by KarmaGirl | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

This is a news item, but I will also post it here:

OK, well, I have always wanted to run my own contest, and I have $60 burning a hole in my pocket to do it with.  (OK, so I really don't have a lot of money, but I'm willing to share, and it's Christmas time.........) 

I have heard many comments about how people want a subscription but don't have any money.  They also find it hard to work their way up to a user level that will give them unlimited downloads by "contributing", so here is your chance to win a WC subscription from me.  This is paid by me, not Stardock, so I am the full judge and jury of this.

Here are the rules:
1) you must submit a new work that is fully your own
2) it must be a WB skin, IP or DesktopX object/theme
3) it must be submitted between 12/10/03 and 12/22/03
4) you must indicate that it is for this contest in the comments section
5) you must email me with your full contact info and a reason why you should win ([email protected] with the title of: contest)
6) it has to make it through moderation in order to be considered.

I will not moderate any of the contest submissions myself.  I will judge them and notify the winners on 12/23/03  If you already have a subscription, I will buy an extension for it, otherwise you will get a new subscription.  There will be three winners.  The winners will be chosen from all categories, so all three winners could be from the same category.  Feel free to submit more than one entry!

If you want a "free" subscription, here's your chance!

cool! Good idea. I dont think I'll enter though since I've never skinned any of those.

Good luck to all those who enter!

Yes, and I kept for a short amount of time so that people can enter, and if they don't win, they will still have a chance to purchase a subscription for the "drive" that is going on.

I was about to buy a WC subscription for my own, but I have just talked to KarmaGirl and I will donate a 4th subscription. It's a runner up prize. KarmaGirl picks 3 skins first (like she wrote above) and I will select the 4th.

This could be the motivation I need to try to make Windowblind skins, since I can never find the "perfect" skin for me..

But wouldn't building skins required a registered version of Windowblinds or the program that builds the skins?

CoyoteMy: No. But in the shareware version not all items are skinned. So, that's the limitation. However, you can use SkinStudio to skin the items you cannot see and ask a friend to test it for you.

This should be a sticky post for those who come directly to the message board. Best seen by all.

This is such a wonderful thing for you to be doing Karma. You have a wonderful touch at spreading Christmas cheer.

Sorry, it's only DX, IP and WB

Why not try your hand at a DesktopX theme?
