Previous DCEmu coverage on the skinning contest

Due to only receiving one entry so far (though other people say they are close to finishing), F34R, who is running the iR Shell Skinning Contest has extended the deadline an extra week. The new deadline is October 17. He says that this will be the ONLY extension even if one entry is all that's entered.

And here's a refresher on the Judging Criteria:

To help the skin developers make the most of their work, here are a few things that the judges will be looking for:

Accuracy - How well does the skin integrate with iR Shell ? Does the color.def file fit ? (this is a must !)
Creativity - How unique is the theme ?
Details - How has the developer designed the fine details of the skin ? What defines the USB section, and differentiates itself from the Wifi section ?
Style - How well do the colors, icons, details, menus, etc. blend together in the theme of the skin ?

Judging the skins will not be limited to the above list. These are just some of the things the skin developer should keep in mind when creating the skin.

And a Rules reminder:

All "skinners" must be registered users of iR Shell.org.
All skins must be the artists own work.
- renders, pics, etc. can be used, but must have been "compiled" by the submitter. i.e. I wouldn't enter a skin that matriculated had made.
All skins must be submitted to F34R via PM with a private upload link.
- megaupload, rapidshare, etc.
Skins that have been previously released are not eligible.
Each participant may enter two skins into the contest. Only one prize may be won by each participant.
Previews are not to be posted. This will be handled by the judging committee.
All skins submitted must be compatible with the latest public build of iR Shell.
I reserve the right to remove anyone from this contest at my discretion.
I reserve the right to refuse any entry at my discretion.
You must be 18 years of age, or have permission to enter from either a parent or guardian. By entering into the contest you acknowledge that you meet one of these requirements.
I reserve the right to change these rules, prizes, or any other portion of this contest prior to the deadline. Notification of changes will be via this thread.
