Looking at the featured skins list, several of the recent skins have been featured, and I wouldn't be surprised to see more of the skins in the competition featured in upcoming days. It seems to be a fairly evenly spread thing.

Win some cash making skins and having fun! The Fall skinning contest has begun as the top 10 skins in terms of subscriber downloads will win a portion of the revenue WinCustomize receives from subscriber downloads.
Thats what it said.

I had the same thought in the beginning, but as time passes, I think it evens out. The number one skin right now was submitted 9 days after the first skin of the contest, and there were many others submitted in between. If you submit a skin on the last day, I'd say you're out of luck, but as long as a skin has a week or so of exposure, I think it has a fair chance of getting all the subscriber downloads that it can.

I agree that featuring a skin is not likely to increase subscriber downloads. Subscribers tend to be here on a daily basis and they see all the WindowBlinds skins as they are posted. Random downloads don't count in the contest and they are most likely to be boosted by featuring a skin.
The same could be said for contestants who appear in the Top Authors list or the Top Downloads list. Some people appear in those lists every single day, and it could be said that it would give them an unfair advantage. I don't think it does though.
