Weebly Announces $13,000 Prized Theme Design Contest
Weebly, a very easy-to-use, popular & web-based website-builder service has just opened its theme gallery to all designers.
And, to celebrate this, they launched a design contest with $13,000 in prizes which the entries will be judged by well-known designers:
- Michael Cronan (acknowledged with the naming and identities of Tivo and Verio and naming the Amazon Kindle)
- Scott Thomas (former design director of Obama for America)
- Jason Putorti (former lead designer of Mint.com)
- Andrew Wilkinson (Founder, MetaLab)
- Dustin Curtis
- Rob Martin
Prizes are $10,000 for the winner, $2000 for the 2nd & $1000 for the 3rd position.
Creating a theme for Weebly is very easy as you don't have to worry for the HTML-CSS. Just focus on the creativity, design a layered PSD & Weebly team will convert it for you.
If the design created is not one of the winners, it may still be added to the themes database by Weebly & designers will be credited.
Deadline for submitting designs is April 30th, 2010 & it is open to everyone.

“If the design created is not one of the winners, it may still be added to the themes database by Weebly & designers will be credited.”
This would be great for the 3 possible prize winners, but what this boils down to is Weebly asking for work on “spec” – they get design work they will use in their service and not compensate designers for it. I understand if they want to offer a service that undercuts the individual web designer through a web-based service to build website, but now they are trying to get free work out of them as well.
