We've organized several contests in the past few years.  Maxthon, Dreams, Icons, and of course the GUI Champs.  The one thing to keep in mind is that all of these were planned, organized and executed by WinCustomize and its staff.  While these contests tend to have great prizes, there isn't a whole lot of opportunity for community involvement.  We run them, you submit skins, we judge and award prizes... contest ends.

Well, community member BX has stepped up to organize a community-driven contest.  Prizes, judging, organization etc are all being handled by members of the community.

Events:

• WindowBlinds
• IconPackager
• CursorXP
• Object Dock

Go here for the full set of rules and details.  The contest officially kicks off on February 15th.
