Do you have to submit all three catagorys? It said at the top contestants will compete on three applications. Just wondering.
WindowBlinds - Free yourself of the default settings, customize your desktop.

No, you can compete in any one you like, or two of them or three of them.

But you can only win one.

y para skins de WinMedia?? nada de concursos ??
Reply #31 from WinCustomize Forums Top
Los concursos que se han llevado a cabo son para los programas de Stardock. WinMedia no es parte de Stardock, por consecuente no es una aplicacion valida en estos concursos.
Si Microsoft se uniera a los auspiciadores y contribuyera con la donacion de premios entonces WinMedia seria parte de los concursos.

Is there or will there be a central site where we can see the items submitted for the contest?

No. All entries submited will be uploaded to their respective section here at WinCustomize.
Participating entries will have "SKINNING CONTEST" on their description.

Me thinks maybe the shorter "SKINNING CONTEST" so's as not to confuse with the previous contest(s) when browsing? Just a thought. {thought I found a entry until memory kicked in and I looked at the date}
