Hey guys,

I know we're all excited but just wanted to let you know that Doug and the gang (us) are working towards picking the winner. We've been a bit busy In our other lives and haven't forgotten you.

I think that eric has several site improvements planned and some may be around the template section. I can't be for certain, but yeah... hang in there!

How do we review the submitted templates?

OrgIdiot — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 11:11:40 -0400

Beyond clicking through all the pages of the templates is there a way to view the contest submissions?

Results?

Your pages and artwork look wonderful. Have you considered for an art project putting them in a well worn leather planner?

Hi, Rollafool. For now, just post your template as usual. We'll round up all the templates with creation dates between February 15 and March 15 and they will be eligible. (Hmm. eric, we *can* do this, right? ;-) )

all my best,

Card bleachers

Tildy — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 14:47:30 -0500

The first time I read the phrase "card bleachers," I thought it had something to do with chlorox-type products! I've used index cards for years and have seen a card holder thingee but didn't know the technical name for it. I was roflol when I figured out what they were talking about!

Contest Question

Rollafool — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 08:13:12 -0500

Hi Doug,

The contest is a great idea! The imagination is already revving...

Quick question -- where should we post them and/or announce them when we have some to enter? Or do we submit them directly to you?

If not, could I suggest creating a new category in the User Templates section specifically for contest entries? It might be a handy way to corral them in one place...

Cheers,
Paul, aka Rollafool

Clarifications

dougj — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 23:47:20 -0500

As long as the template is submitted for the first time between the 15th of February and the 15th of March, it will be eligible. We'll take all such entries on the 16th of March and judge them then.

all my best,
dj

DIY Planner's First Great Template Contest

dougj — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 00:07:10 -0500

We're going to try something new here at the homestead. We have quite a burgeoning number of template designers among us, and so many have demonstrated a creativity that goes far beyond the simple "to do list on steroids". We like that. We want to encourage that. And so, I'm happy to announce our first template design contest.

We've procured a great little set of products from fan-fave Levenger that almost any self-respecting productivity junkie would love.

Levenger Card Wallet Writer

Levenger Walletini Pen

First up is a black Levenger Card Wallet Writer. It's like a small leather business card wallet that sports a thin outside pocket, a spacious one inside for a stack, and (this is neat) a card holder to keep cards ready for writing. It's like an ultra-small version of their index card briefcase.

Of course, you'll need a pen to go along with the small size, and so accompanying it will be a shiny new Walletini Pen. We're also including a small stack of fancy cards to get you started: they have lines on one side, and a grid on the other. The prize package goes for a retail cost of $76 USD.

The prize goes to the best template submitted from February 15th to March 15th. Read on for the rules.

The basic criteria is simple: we want a nice template, or set of templates. The more useful and/or creative, the better.
Contest closes on March 15th. Any template not submitted by or on that date will be ineligible, as will any template submitted before February 15th.
This is for new templates only, not modifications to existing ones. For example, you cannot tweak your existing entry and resubmit, nor can you make modifications of someone else's templates. The sole exception would be templates created with elements from the official D*I*Y Planner Widget Kit, as these same tools are available to anyone who's interested. No preference, however, will be given to anyone using that kit.
Depending on the volume of entrants, the D*I*Y Planner "core" team will make an initial short-list of designs. Once the selections have been made, we will open a poll for voting, and you folks will make the final selection.
Obviously, no member of the core team will be eligible for the prize. This includes myself, Innowen, eric, Sardonius, Steve, and Sara.

Good luck, folks, and happy designing!
