Calling All Skinners, Calling All Skinners.....

Next skinning contest is on the way.

from WinCustomize Forums

As many of you know, this year's Skinning Contest sponsored by some of the community members will be on the way soon (4 days to be exact)
This idea gave way to another skinning contest. This second contest will target a more advance group of skinners since the categories on which they'll be competing are; DX Theme, IconPack and WindowBlinds.

The prize on this second contest will be a Object Desktop ($50.00 value) for the top skin/theme of each category. The 3 prizes will be donated by Bones2112, Brewman and me Apocalypse_67. The contest will start on Sep 30, 2005 and will end on Oct 14, 2005. Winners will be announced on Oct 17, 2005

The purpose of this post is to give the skinners interested in participating more than a month's noticed to create their skins/themes. Just like the rules of the first contests, all work must be new and original. No ports or re-coloring of past work or work by another artist.

I will  make the official announcement by the end of next week. In the mean time shift those ideas into high gear and open up those graphic programs. ;)

By the way i have a cd called Kid Pix 3 and i can draw lots of things in it but it won't save as a bmp or jpg. what can i do?


If it won't save, then you can always take a screen shot and edit that in paint or whatever you use.

For instance...if i'm using psp tubes and i spend a week creating a scene that is original in thought..but used a few psp tubes..is that still " my " wallpaper ? I know this is a tricky question....psp tubes are spread out everywhere and you can see same images in 100's of different uses. So..even if i didnt draw it..would it be my work?

In my interpretation, the wall would be 100% yours, since tubes are free to use, But "I" couldn't call it 100% original work............... could you?

I cant even draw stick people. Well...maybe i can kinda sorta ....maybe ..

In that case, you and I have something in common... I can't draw a stick with both hands.... ........

I am working with the other sponsors on the last details of the second skinning contest.
Hopefully I will make the official announcement tomorrow night.
Hus and Black Xero are willing to contribute for a second place prize but that leaves one category short of a prize. (BTW, thank you guys) If we get a 3rd donation I will contact the sponsors to agree on what will the 2nd place prize be.

Those interested in participating can start to work on their entries since the contest will start in a month. Sep 30, 2005 to be exact.

Good news. We have a 3rd sponsor for a 2nd place prize. Bichur will join Hus and Black Xero for the prizing of 2nd place winners.
Thank you Bichur for the support

If it is not too much of a problem......

Is it possible to set up a site to submit skins prior to September 30? I would like to post a skin to this contest but expect to be working on a ship (with limited and/or no internet access) during the entire contest time frame.

BTW...Mom always told me not to draw sharp sticks!

We will be working with the moderators (as we are on the 1st contest) so that the files uploaded to compete on the contest prior to the date of the contest will be hold on cue until the 1st day of the contest.
Just make sure that you type 'WINCUSTOMIZE SKINNING CONTEST' on the description of your file so the moderators know the file in in competition and they can hold it on cue.
