With the recent launch of eZ Publish's new Community Portal it is time to call for all designers to take out their pencils and paper. It is time for a design contest! Do you have creativity running through your veins, and do you want to see your design applied to the new community portal at http://share.ez.no ? You should not wait any longer, participate, have fun and as a result get your creativity exposed to the broad audience of the eZ Publish Community and... get rewarded for your work :)
Redesign the eZ Publish Community portal
This contest is open to absolutely anyone willing to tag the eZ Publish Community portal with his name. This place is where 35000+ members are registered, a fair amount of them stepping by daily to share ideas, experiences, code, translations, knowledge, tips & tricks and fun around eZ Publish. How about all of them seeing, every day, a "Designed by <you>" on all pages ?
It starts on April, 21st, and ends on June 4th.
