MIMIC
The Skins & Themes Constest of the Year!------------
Hello skinners and themers!
I'm proud to introduce you the Biggest Skins & Themes contest ever made. A magnificent chance for all of you to participate and win a lot of prizes!
MIMIC is gonna be the biggest contest ever made under the Skins & Themes gallery.
------------
The purpose of this contest is to create from scratch a functional Skin or a Packed Theme for certain type of applications (listed below) while trying to make them look as close as possible to the proposed object/ambient/concept. In other words, you have to mimic the look of the provided references.
Do you need examples? Here are a few:
Nintendo Wii - A WindowBlinds Skin
iPhone - A MirandaIM Skin
Wood - A packed theme for Windows
Chocolate - A packed guikit for OS X
As you can see, these works mimics the look of those products/textures and at the same time, these skins preserves the funcionallity of the application they were meant to be applied to.
So let's get started!
------------
C a t e g o r i e s :(1st, 2nd and 3rd places for each one!)

Important: Media Players are not included in this contest, because there is an upcoming contest related to Media Players ONLY.

D e a d l i n e :
The contest ends in December 14, all the submissions after this deadline won't qualify on the final judging. You can pick any of these
J u d g i n g :
Judging won't be based on Favourites or Comments. Many popular skinners & themers have a lot of fans and it wouldn't be fair for new artists on the deskmod scene. The selection of the 3 winners for each one of the 5 categories will be made by a pre-selected group of deviants, including members, suscribers, seniors and staff. The judging staff will be anounced in the next weeks.
Winners announcement:
After 10 days of judging, the 15 winners will be announced on December 24.

See ya in the contest!

If that's a yes, does that mean we're allowed to enter the contest with old deviations as long as they meet the requirements?
