All participants are welcome to design skins that describe how Singapore is important and how beautiful Singapore is to them etc. As long as your entry describes positively and appropriately the beauty and/or merits of Singapore, it will be accepted as an official entry of SGSKINS. Please note that we welcome all participants of all nationalities (Singaporeans, Singaporean Permanent Residents and non-Singaporeans). :)

  oo cool thing.
but shouldnt you put the end date of submission a few days before 9th august,
so you could announce all results on 9th august itself, and declare the winners on that day?

*OH MY FUCKING GOD MY COMPUTER'S GOT VIRUS SPYWARE

  Good luck bolong92, hehe.

You're right, but isn't the competition period short enough? I'm afraid the skinning period will be too short if we end the competition earlier :( I'm not sure. We shall see how the others think about it, yeah? ;) Thanks for your concern anyway.

Teehee, you're right too because we might be busy watching the Olympics on the eighth hahahahahahaha. LOL =X

  xmissyger, you don't have to resubmit. Just copy the Skin Info URL here. You only have to insert the competition banner into your skin description and edit the skin further if necessary to conform to the requirements. That's all :) We look forward to your submission.

Just a gentle reminder to all participants - PLEASE READ THE RULES CAREFULLY. MAKE SURE YOU CREDIT DIRECTLY TO THE EXACT PAGE WHERE YOU FOUND YOUR RESOURCES LIKE BRUSHES, IMAGES ETC.

OH LORDY-LORDDDD

Participants, please, unless you want to be awarded fewer marks for no creativity and originality, no more Singapore Flyer in your entries please D: T_T I'm sure there are much more things about Singapore that are also beautiful.

I'm not in any way against Singapore Flyer though. Just afraid to receive all skins with Singapore Flyer o.o Then I might as well call it a Singapore Flyer improvisation competition, right? LOL. Yeah but we will not be biased on skins about Singapore Flyer though, don't worry :D

We hope to receive a variety of skins.

Another suggestion, design skins that do not focus on Singapore's scenery too much. Again I'm sure there are a lot more non-nature stuffs about Singapore that makes it so special to you, eh?

BE CREATIVE! :)

  *Take note: If the source of images such as flickr, foto_decadent etc is forgotten, you just have to credit to the main site, unless the author of the images request direct credit.

If you are unsure if your credits are alright, just leave a note here. :)

  ridhwanrevolution,

I apologize but currently we are not in need of additional judges due to the small number of submissions, apparently :( Should we fortunately receive a sudden influx of submissions, we might consider recruiting you as a judge into this competition. :D Do visit this thread regularly for more updates. :)
