Over the past year, Plain Black Corporation has been making an effort to implement design changes in WebGUI.  We began a year ago at the 2008 WUC by committing staff members to Rogier's template project.  This ongoing effort seeks to create more design-friendly and standards-compliant default templates for WebGUI.  Several months ago, we announced an upcoming facelift for webgui.org and made our designs available for community input.  Now we are taking the next step.  Plain Black Corporation and Koen de Jonge/ProcoliX are pleased to announce the 2009 “Design a Theme” contest, an open call for WebGUI theme submissions.  Community members are encouraged to submit as many custom designed site themes as they wish.  Each and every of the submitted themes will be added to the Bazaar.  The main goals of this contest are to vastly increase the amount of available designs for WebGUI users and to promote community members to share their creative works.  We will be awarding karmic prizes to every entrant, and have a variety of special prizes for finalists and winners.

For a full list of instructions, rules, deadlines, and prizes, please see webgui.org/2009-design-contest.


If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to post them in this thread and I will do my best to answer them.

Hey all,

I wanted to let you know that we've decided to extend the deadline for submissions to August 14th. This gives you oodles more time to design, create, tweak, and make the best possible themes you can conceive! Remember, every design you submit strengthens the whole community, and the karmic prizes here are quite sizable.  So get those designs in!  And of course feel free to reply here if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.

There are a disappointing 4 submissions for this contest.

However, those who did submit a design should be awarded for it, I say we start the voting asap.
