Half-way!
That's where we are in the GUI Champs '06 competition. Today we announced
the winners of the Most Usable Icon Package, along with the top-ten finalists
for Most Usable & Most Original Visual Styles. Later on in the week we'll
be announcing the Most Original Icon Package winners, bring us within two weeks
of the end of the contest, and so far we will have handed out $850 in cash,
$3396in software and site subscriptions, not to mention an
EVGA GeForce 7600GS! Not bad for only
half the events being done, and the best part is, we're just getting over the
low-end of the prize scale! In the upcoming weeks, we'll be giving away
increasingly large amounts of cash, an EVGA GeForce 7900GT, a few XBox360s, and
to top it all off, the Alienware Area-57
M5950 Multimedia Laptop!
The next events for users to vote on will be the Best Overall events coming
up in two weeks, these three events carry the biggest single winner prizes of
the competition, excepting of course the Alienware to the top overall skinner.
With Original Icons going up Friday, and Original and Usable Visual Styles going
up throughout next week, it's going to be a busy, busy time for everyone
involved, or interested in the competition.
