{ via aczafra.com } 451Press is currently holding a WordPress Theme Competition for their blog network. And you guessed it right — the winning theme will get Php100,000. Why hire someone when you can have a contest right?
The contest already started a week ago (October 12) and all they need are the ff:
* Network bar at the top (mainly for branding, logo link provided below)
* Ad space for the following ad sizes: 728×90 (top of page), 300×250 (side bar), 160×600 (sidebar) and 336×280 (after first post and before comments on details page) and 728×15 Google Text Links).
* Google search box
* Standard WordPress features (Categories, search, RSS feeds etc.)
* Network Sites list (These will be organized by Channel. There will be a large number of blogs – several hundred).
* Space at the top for logo/font type.
If you’re interested, check out the discussions going on at the SitePoint forums.
Yeah, they aren’t known for paying what they owe, either. curious whether the designer ever got paid?
This is a good idea. Instead of hiring a group of web dev geeks why not having a contest that would only cost 2k. I was thinking of having a contest 3k web design for my website.
yeah, somebody gave me a head’s up on this on my blog. the prize money is tempting, but the way the contest works is medyo weird kaya i’m a bit skeptical. To join kasi you will need to post a mock-up on the forum, then the organizer will comment. Well, I think you know how I feel about unpaid mockups :P
