Wednesday, August 10, 2005 by Apocalypse_67 | Discussion: WinCustomize News



WinCustomize community members.
Here is a chance to win a WinCustomize Subscription by entering in a small skinning contest sponsored by Ama02, Fairyy~, Black Xero, Bichur, Jafo and me Apocalypse_67


The Prize:
A WinCustomize Subscription
As you all know (and for those that don't know) as a WC subscriber your User Level is increased to 5 which gives the user unlimited file downloads for an entire year. The user gains the ability to rate the skins uploaded to the site and a WinCustomize website. In addition to this, you'll also get SkinBrowser, two premium skin suites and exclusive WinCustomize features. But most important, it helps support the site so we can continue to share and promote our work.

The Contest:
The contestants may choose between 3 applications to skin, CursorXP, Logon or BootSkin. The top 2 skins of each category will win a subscription.
Contestants can enter a skin for each category but only one subscription will be awarded even if the contestant's skins finish first on 2 or all 3 categories.

The Rules:
- One entree per contestant per category.
- All skins submitted must be original new work of the contestant.
- No ports, borrowed images or re-coloring of previous work.
- ALL parts of the theme must be skinned. Incomplete skins will not be accepted.
- Violation of any of these rules will result in disqualification.

Time frame and dead line:
Contest will run for 2 weeks from 08/26/05 thru 09/09/05
Skins will not be accepted before 08/26/05 or after 09/09/05
Winners will be announced on 09/12/05
When uploading the skin/theme make sure to write 'WC SUBSCRIPTION CONTEST' on the file's description to indicate that the skin/theme is competing on the contest.

The Judges:
The judges of this event will be the WinCustomize community members.
1st, 2nd and 3rd place skins of each category with the highest download count by registered users will be the winners.
KEEP IN MIND THAT REGISTERED USER DOWNLOADS ARE NOT THE SAME AS TOTAL DOWNLOADS

NOTE: CONTEST IS OPEN ONLY TO USERS WITHOUT SUBSCRIPTIONS

Good luck to all the contestants and have fun skinning.

As of today (counting Jafo's donation) there are 8 subscriptions to give away. Another donation was given yesterday by "Mr. X" (the name has been change to protect the innocents )
This means that 1st, 2nd and 3rd place skins on the CursorXP and Logon category will win each a subscription.
1st and 2nd place skins on the BootSkin category will win the remaining 2 subscriptions.


Thats good..I wasnt sure you wanted to add more prizes to this contest . So if you want to add my offer of a second WC subscription to this contest thats fine...

I had already decided to purchase desktopX pro and seeing that Stardock gave a special reduced price for the next 20 days..I'll just donate the savings back in.

One question: May I also release the skins at other sites?

Skins/Themes submited for the contest can only be uploaded to this site alone until the contest is over.
After Sep 12, 2005 you can release the skin at any other site.

Please keep in mind that this is not about beating any particular contestant. This is about presenting your best work and let the users decide which skin/theme is better. You'll be surprise how many people can beat JJ Ying

Meowy, you will upload the skin/theme as you would normally do. But remember...
ALL COMPETING WORK MUST BE SUBMITED ON OR AFTER 08/26/05
MAKE SURE YOU TYPE "WC SUBSCRIPTION CONTEST" ON THE DESCRIPTION TO INDICATE THAT THE SKIN/THEME IS PARTICIPATING.
