The TextPattern Theme Contest has just ended.
Honestly, I think all the winners of last fall’s Typo theme contest were much more creative, but there are some great ideas there as well!

A brand new Apple PowerBook 15" to the contest winner and an iBook 12" to the second place theme, as determined by the judges.
Combo pack of Agile Web Development with Rails, including a paper copy of the book and the PDF version.
One year blog hosting packages to the first 10 unique themes. A Level 3 Rails/Blog/PHP Hosting package to the contest winner.
Several copies of XScope, the on-screen inspection tools for Mac OS X. A copy of IconBuilder, the professional web and desktop icon design plugin.
One free year of Tables Turned’s podcast creation services, hosting, and access to the Play Safe podcast music library.
Keep in mind that the Typo contest had both a Powerbook and an iBook up for grabs, thus probably attracting many more people.
Overall though, I suppose I agree with you. The Typo contest did rake in a few more high-quality themes, but I’m still very happy with the results of the Textpattern contest.
typo theme designers were way better
but props to everyone!
Is this place all finished now? No more themes? I hope not!
We have 12 gardeners working on a new site. Give us a month or three and we’ll be back.
In the meantime, articles will be posted here periodically, so stay tuned.
The winners were bland, but some of the other entries were quite creative.
I have been missing this but I’m in the game now! Be aware, competition is hot, folks!
