http://images.stardock.com/badges/guic_128.pngThe 2008 GUI Championships start in just a few weeks, and we have been working hard getting everything ready, and I think it’s safe to say, this will be the biggest one yet.  The new website is just about done, and today we unveil the splash page for the GUI Champs website.  You can now go to www.guichamps.com and see all the details about the contest, including sponsors and official rules for entry.

Just a quick competition recap:

The 2008 GUI Championships is an international skinning competition held every two years.  Skinners from around the globe are invited to participate in several Windows GUI skinning categories to compete for great prizes and the recognition of their peers.

This year we're focusing on three main areas of Windows UI skinning:

  1. WindowBlinds Skins
  2. Icon Packages
  3. Animated Wallpapers

Prizes include:

  • Wacom Cintiq 12WX
  • Sapphire HD 4850 Video Cards
  • SnagIt & Camtasia Studio
  • DeviantArt Subsciptions
  • Object Desktop Subscriptions
  • Cash

I'd like to take a minute and thank all our current sponsors we have so far.  A big thanks to TechSmith, AMD, DeviantART, Stardock, and our newest sponsor, Wacom.  We also have more in the works, and more exciting news coming up.

So now, tell your friends and spread the link around to the GUI Champs '08!

With the party starting soon, I can't wait to see what Mike Bryant, vStyler, PixelPirate among a few top best will be submitted. One thing for sure is they all know we are expecting the very best ever from them and nothing less.
I can only wait for close to two years, but when it's days away for the party to start, I can barely wait.

messiah1 is alright! I never mind him taking a few jabs at me. He keeps things going with good intention, nothing offensive on both ends.
Ya. I don't mean any harm. I just like poking ES a bit. Dude get's excited and let's the world know it. No harm in that.    And I don't mind him changing my post...the original is still there. I do it all the time to Mirsguy (in good fun) when he calls himself a dock freak, I quote it and take out the dock so it says "I'm a freak". Then I'll say "Yes, yes you are". He knows I'm playing with him. *messiah1 looks over his should for the quote enforcers...

You can reproduce logos that indicate what file icons are for.
