We are approaching the holiday season and this has always been a popular skinning holiday as decorating a desktop is almost as fun as decorating your house for Christmas.  We already have a great gallery full of holiday themed skins, but lets reinforce that with some fresh new designs.  This time we are just going for a free-for-all casual contest where any skin type is welcome as long as it’s available at WC for download.

The rules:

  • Contest runs from November 11th to Friday, December 16th, 2011. 
  • Any skin type accepted, as long as it’s one available on WinCustomize.
  • No limit on skin submissions, but remember quality over quantity. 
  • WC moderation is still in effect.
  • Judges are the WC admins/mods.  Skins will be judged on quality and creativity.
  • Skins/images must be original content. 
  • In skin description, please put “WC Holiday Contest 2011”.

Remember, this is a fun contest to create and share holiday skins.  We are looking for creative holiday ideas and how they are turned into a function skin or usable wallpaper.  As mentioned this is open to all skin types on WC, but of course I’d recommend popular categories like WindowBlinds, Wallpapers, CursorFX, DeskScapes, etc.

The prizes:

  • 1st place:
  • Runner-up: Object Desktop subscription, $10 iTunes gift card

  • 3rd place: WinCustomize subscription

I’m still working on getting some more prizes, but all skins will be featured on the front page of WinCustomize and it’s various social outlets which is great exposure for the artist. 

Can’t wait to see what’s submitted!

If I can get out of this funk, and get caught up, I may try my hand at a Christmas DX. I've been sick for over a week and have gotten behind.

 

Looks like we may have some good stuff coming from the others!!  I can't wait!

Working on one now for X-mas

I'm in. Mine are up. One more to come.

Have to start mine over. It didn't work. Boogers!

Which is not necessarily a bad thing. CS3 has the warp tool. I like the warp tool. I'm thinking that since it came with the Acer installed I'd be a fool not to use it. A more better Photoshop. Yum!
