Re: Textpattern Theme Competition
I would also encourage perhaps categories, or would you say the overall winner? I say categories as there’s a shortage of alternative theme styles, say for corporate, gaming clan that sort of thing. It would add some variety as well. Just a thought.
As for 2) How about the textgarden – I’m sure a competition entries category could be set up display on the front.
with regards to 3) I would think both textgarden and the txpmagazine wold be good places to start for advertising.

Re: Textpattern Theme Competition
I will allow entries of all types and each will be judged based on its merits as a textpattern template, not its intended use. It might be a little too much to separate the contest into categories because there might not be (m)any submissions to the other categories (Textgarden only has one “corporate” template and it is hardly that).
Any other suggestions?

Re: Textpattern Theme Competition
This is VERY exciting…I’ve already got some wonderful sponsors lined up!
I would really like to get some kind of a consensus on a date to let the sponsors know. When do you think we should start the contest?
I’ll start developing the site for the competition as soon as I can, probably this weekend.

Thame/Theme haha :D (It’s kinda late)
Anyway, the tentative dates for the competition will be January 4th to February 28th. A little under two months should be a good amount of time. However, I’m still waiting for a reply from Dean to see if I can get an official go-ahead.

Re: Textpattern Theme Competition
How late is it there? And shouldn’t you be working on papers and the like? And when did you redesign your site?

Re: Textpattern Theme Competition
I won’t be entering the competition, but I’d be more than happy to create some badges and promotional material for the contest, and I’ll link to it on all of the sites I run.
just post the badge sizes here, and if anyone has the logo as a transparent GIF or PNG put it up as well. it’ll just make my job easier. should I stick to the general yellow/white color scheme, or will the contest site have its own design?
finally, for a good name for the site just stick with something simple. the main thing is trying to find a good domain name, if you do decide to purchase one, that is.

Can ya tell I get distracted easily? Actually, I only have bio and chem finals left and I’m pretty good at those so I’m not worried anymore. Still studying about 8-10 hours a day anyway. I’m planning on a 4.0 my first semester :D
I’m going to be working on the competition site soon, and I’ll be sure to let you know what it’s going to look like. Obviously, I want it to be very simple because it is really about the submitted designs.
Also, I’ll gladly buy a domain, but have been having trouble thinking up of a name. Any suggestions?

Re: Textpattern Theme Competition
TxPrizes
comPattern
I dunno, that’s all I can think of right now. I’m trying to get some things that combine some part of the word Textpattern or the TXP abbreviation, yet easily suggest that it has something to do with Textpattern too.

Re: Textpattern Theme Competition
oooh, I like TXPlates a lot, it flows well.
on the other hand, the second “t” in Textplates causes a slight separation from Text and Plates and just doesn’t flow.

Re: Textpattern Theme Competition
Hmm…TextPlates sounds good
It’s a little better than TXPlates because it sounds closer to Templates.

Keep the suggestions coming though…

Re: Textpattern Theme Competition
My last final is tomorrow morning (hmm…actually today), so hopefully I’ll be able to cook up a quick design comp. by then. I think I’m going to go with TextPlates.com, but if someone won’t enter because of the domain, let me know :D
Also, my sponsorship quest is going fairly well, but I really want to make it exciting so I’m still shooting out e-mails.
