Looking For Skin/Skinner Of The Year Nominations

Looking For Skin/Skinner Of The Year Nominations

Closing out 2007 With a Bang

2007 is quickly drawing to a close, and wow what a year it's been!  The new WinCustomize, Vista, Dreams, SoundPackager, Xion, WindowBlinds 6, the Charity Drive, the Alienware Contest, and more spectacular skins than you can shake a stick at!

Around this time of year, a lot of sites start doing their "Best XYZ of 2007!" lists, and I thought maybe we could get in on the fun with a few of our own lists to mark the best work of the past year.

Nominate your:

  • Favorite Skinner
  • Favorite Skin from Library X

In order to nominate someone for consideration, post a comment below with who/what and for which category.  Nominate as many people/skins for as many categories as you like.  If you're not comfortable posting publicly, you can PM me via the forums... BUT if you're going to PM me you have to do it in a very clear format.  If you don't give me a nomination in this format, I will not count it.

  • [Category] - [Skin Name] [link]
  • [Category] - [Skin Name] [link]
  • [Category] - [Skin Name] [link]
  • [Category] - [Skin Name] [link]

Go ahead and nominate for any library you like.  However, if a library gets less than five items nominated, I won't be running a poll for it.

You have to get your nomination in by end-of-day Wednesday, December 12th.  We will start running polls over the weekend to determine the favorites, with the results posted before the new year.

51 posts and not one nomination?!?!?

I'm like* the Susan Lucci of Wincustomize.




*Please note I am referring to the fact that she went so long
without winning a daytime Emmy and no other relationship.
So get your mind outta the gutter or wherever you left it.

The hypnotoad is sleeping so I gotta make this quick...I agree that skinner of the year should go to someone who dosnt have a financial stake in skinning.

John deserves all the recognition he gets,but I'm sure he wont mind if I make second nominee...or 2...

to the 3 skinners I saw make the most progress(and turn out heaps of work)
Night Train,Bilbo,J.Aroche and Messiah. :) 

I will however accept the award for longest freakin' skin developement by a skinner with no job and no other major projects going. ;p  :LOL: Thank you,thank you all. ;) 

Or you could have amateur skinner and pro skinner of the year. :CONGRAT:

I would also like to propose a Member of the Year as well.
That would be none other than the distinguished Po'Smedley.
Who here hasn't had one of the best chuckles at Po's contributions just to the forums. His outstanding and dedicated spirit to this community is second to none. He's calmed many a dispute and made people feel welcomed.
