Island Dog Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Well folks, now is the time to start the real countdown to this years GUI Championships, the largest GUI customization competition around, and to give some more details about the competition. Let me first start off by thanking all our sponsors for this years event, I have no doubt this will be the best one yet! The GUI Champs '08 will officially start on Monday, October 13th. The judging and more detailed schedule will be posted soon, but this is when we will start accepting entries. Prizes (as of 9-15-08) Video Cards from AMD Camtasia Studio 5, and SnagIt 9 from TechSmith Subscriptions to WinCustomize.com and DeviantART.com 32GB iPod Touch Subscriptions to Object Desktop from Stardock Cash $$ Autodesk is sponsoring a copy of a high-end 3D application and more! As it stands now, we have well over $10,000 in cash and prizes for this years event so far. I say "so far" because we are still talking to a few great folks about additional prizes, and I will post more info as it comes in. More details about prize distribution for categories will also come later. Just be assured we have a great prize lineup already. The current GUI Champs '08 categories are: WindowBlinds Skins Most Original Most Usable Best Overall [*]IconPackager Sets Most Original Most Usable Best Overall [*]Animated Wallpapers (.Dreams) Most Original Most Usable Best Overall So that is the Pre-Kickoff, and more info will be along shortly.

Dick Montage Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I believe it did, but the use of the word "Olympics" was troublesome. I believe it's a trademark or such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
