Sandbox Designs Competition Complete

on: Aug/6/07 and its been viewed 3,439 times

Awhile ago I posted about the Sandbox Designs Competition that started back in June. The competition is now complete and the winning designs have been announced and displayed. First prize went to Arpit Jacob for SandPress, which is a really sharp and clean theme.

Congrats to all the winners of the competition and big kudos to all the designers who participated. The WP community gets to benefit greatly from all of these new and great themes, based on the Sandbox Theme. Congrats to Scott Wallick for running a sane (I think ?) and successful competition, and to the judges who gave their time to make it happen. I’m looking forward to digging into the Sandbox Theme some more after seeing some of the great work to come out of the competition.. as soon as I have some time on my hands, that is!

    Without your support, there wouldn’t have been a competition. So on behalf of all the participants (who are reeling in various directions and can’t be bothered to say so themselves, he he he) thanks.

    Souless administrator me, I just realized I forgot to thank one spoke in the trifecta of the SDC’s success . . . the sponsors. Will remedy that oversight tonight! ;)
