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. :CONGRAT:

Thanks to the sponsors for the collaboration and I'm real glad to see the support and encouragement showed by everyone else.
As Fairyy~ said, I hope more people get as excited as Bash2cool.
Aside from winning a subscription, I'm hoping this contest serves as a 'launch platform' for those that are starting to venture into the skinning world.

Can't wait to participate in! A subscription is quite attractive to me! But on that time, maybe I'll be busy on school work.... I guess I need to prepare for it immediately!

Mormegil is trying to return his current subscription in order to enter the contest.... Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Thanks Paul

I hope some of the kids who can't afford it take this oppourtunity to show their stuff and get that subscription with a little hard work.

Guys...if this means there are 5 [five] subscriptions on offer...then make it 6 [six]....I'll sponsor one as well....

His initial post (in the forum section) started with two subscriptions from him...then I added one, and so did Fairyy~, Black Xero, and Bichur. That should come out to six total. I think there was a mention of another contest following this one though.

I believe " bones " has offered a Object Desktop package ( $50 )...so they are saving that to do another contest right after this one...soo..i'll toss in another Wincustomize subscription for the next contest now. So I believe now as it stands, next contest has 2 Object desktops and will now have 2 WC subscriptions ....so far

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.

That is great Fairyy~
With a total now of 9 subscriptions, 1st, 2nd and 3rd place skins on each category will receive a WC Subscription each.
I will now close the donation window for this contest to prevent confusions.

and yes Jafo, you are in this one
