Perhaps it’s just bad timing, as some of our readers commented that most of the people are busy at the end of the year. Nevermind. We are still happy to have 4 submissions for the first ever WordPress theme mod competition.

Premium Mod Competition: Help Us Spread The Word

Posted on 15. Dec, 2009 by admin in Announcement, Competition | 2 responses

We’ve reached mid-way of our Premium Mod Competition. Although we haven’t receive any submissions yet, we are positive about the receptions and we are sure that many of the participants are still working and tweaking their theme mod until the final day.

So we have a favor to ask from you.

If you believe in what we are doing, or downloaded one of our mods (which has been downloaded around 1,900 times), or would like to see more premium theme mods from us or from the community, help us spread the word.

You can write a blog post about the Premium Mod Competition. Or tweet about it. Or simply retweet it.

Thank you.

Theme Mod Competition – Brewing in Progress

Posted on 14. Nov, 2009 by admin in Announcement, Competition | 5 responses

We will be organizing the first ever theme mod competition for the WordPress community – The Premium Mod Competition.

The idea is choose a commercial GPL theme from the WordPress Commercial Themes Directory (it doesn’t matter whether it’s a paid theme or not), mod it, release the theme and notify us the link (you could submit the theme to us if you don’t have a site to release it).

There will be several cash and prizes (depending on our sponsors) for several winners, namely Community’s Favorite (most voted theme), Judges’ Favorite (yes, there will be a panel judges), and may be (just may be) a Premium Mod’s Favorite.

The competition will be starting around mid December (we are still working with the sponsors) and will last for 1 month.

To keep yourself updated about the Premium Mod Competition, it’s best you subscribe our feed (or email at the sidebar) and follow us on Twitter.

If you have any ideas/suggestions/critics about the competition, please let us know in the comments.
