KarmaGirl's Christmas WC Subscription contest

from WinCustomize Forums

This is a news item, but I will also post it here:

OK, well, I have always wanted to run my own contest, and I have $60 burning a hole in my pocket to do it with.  (OK, so I really don't have a lot of money, but I'm willing to share, and it's Christmas time.........) 

I have heard many comments about how people want a subscription but don't have any money.  They also find it hard to work their way up to a user level that will give them unlimited downloads by "contributing", so here is your chance to win a WC subscription from me.  This is paid by me, not Stardock, so I am the full judge and jury of this.

Here are the rules:
1) you must submit a new work that is fully your own
2) it must be a WB skin, IP or DesktopX object/theme
3) it must be submitted between 12/10/03 and 12/22/03
4) you must indicate that it is for this contest in the comments section
5) you must email me with your full contact info and a reason why you should win (angie@stardock.com with the title of: contest)
6) it has to make it through moderation in order to be considered.

I will not moderate any of the contest submissions myself.  I will judge them and notify the winners on 12/23/03  If you already have a subscription, I will buy an extension for it, otherwise you will get a new subscription.  There will be three winners.  The winners will be chosen from all categories, so all three winners could be from the same category.  Feel free to submit more than one entry!

If you want a "free" subscription, here's your chance!

Just a note to anyone entering- please remember to email me with all the info requested.  I also need contact information, such as Full real name and physical address.  If you don't provide that, I can't register the subscription in your name.

what's wrong, they all waited until to the last day to submit or what? so far i only see one skin enter the contest

There are two that have entered the contest.  However, knowing how artists are procrastinators, I assume that they will all wait until monday

and then wonder what happened with the judging monday night, some might even ask

it ain't just a dissy thing which is good to know

Or for me the 12 days is not enough, you know it's almost Christmas and people are very busy these time they can't just sit down and spend 5 days making a great skin. But I think my skin will be "ready" by monday. And btw I love contests but this one did hurt me a litle.

Unfortunately, if I didn't end it then, then it wouldn't get processed before the end of the drive.  Since I have to manually process it, I have to be physically in the office, which means it has to be done on the 23rd.  After that, I won't be back until the 2nd.  (Stardock gives us these crazy long holiday breaks....those bastards....)  BTW, everyone has until midnight on the 22nd as I will judge in the morning on the 23rd.  Make sure that you email me when you have submitted your entry so I know where to find it!

...so we got 1 or 2 submissions for 4 winners, maybe if you added more types of skins that were accepted it could be evened out, might I suggest wallpapers or object dock, *wink wink nudge nudge*
