WordPress Theme Design Contest – Series 2!

28 March, 2008 - Amy Armitage, Contests, Design

By Amy Armitage

We had such a huge response to our WordPress Design contest, that we have decided to launch a second series with cash and hosting prizes (first prize $1000 and 5 years hosting). This post is simply a heads up that it will be returning in the next few weeks, so dust off your designer tools and get inspired so you can start work! Don’t forget there is no limit on the number of submissions you can enter.

Last time we had some challenges with the voting process which we have addressed, but we would like you to post your suggestions and comments on anything else that you believe will make the contest better.

Don’t forget to tell your design friends about the upcoming contest and stay tuned for news of the start date.

    I agree… let the public decide down to the final 2 or 3, and then let a judge take over… this will eliminate the possibility of hackers.

    I’m gonna enter this time. For reals.

    But i wanna win something useful, like another guitar for “rock band”
    Can you make it happen Amy?

    Yay, one more contest! Quite soon :)

    As for voting, I agree with Aaron, leave the initial selection to the public, and the final vote should be made by staff.

    Don’t invite other designer’s to decide because then it will be same like good-tutorials.com model with moderators, many are friends in this industry and obviously will help their buddies.

    My other suggestion is to complect the butches of initial votes by group, say “dark designs”, “minimalistic”, “web 2.0″ etc. This way it’s easier to select one from 6 themes related to same topic. Although I know its probably won’t be possible as 1. submission is continuous, 2. in the final it will be even harder to choose one theme.

    I also think it would be fair NOT to let previous 3 winners to participate so that there will be more space for others to take part. Not that I’d not want to participate again, I just think it’s not very fair.

    I’d say leave the initial voting open to the public but for the final vote make it a Lunarpages management and/or staff decision to prevent cheating.
