xbmc skinning contest
team-ozxodus and xbox-gear.com has kindly donated 10 xenium modchips each to the xboxmediacenter project for us to run this skinning contest. the contest purpose is to get a more diverse amount of skins for xbmc and hopefully in turn this will also encourage more graphic artists to keep making unique skins for xbox media center. the competition kicks off right away and will end one month from now. skinners who already created skins for xbmc are of course also welcomed to enter the contest with their existing skins. all valid entries not infringing any copyrights, winners or not will be hosted for download by the xboxmediacenter project, however the top-20 entries (decided by the xboxmediacenter team) will each win one state-of-the-art xenium 4th generation xbox modchip courtesy of team-ozxodus and xbox-gear.com!
update! (15/05-2004): we have decided to postpone the last submission date of our xbmc skinning contest by one month, this mostly due to the few number of skins submitted so far. postponing the contest means new skinners will get a chance to catch up to join the competition and all existing skinners get to perfect the final touches of their entries, or perhaps even create another skin for xboxmediacenter? again, the prizes on stake is 20 xenium modchips provided by team-ozxodus and xbox-gear.com. the final submission date is now 20th of june 2004, so go ahead and get skinning!
we here at xbmc would appreciate it if non-skinners could make a small donation to help pay for the winners modchip shipping cost
if you can't wait to hear the results of the contest and want to buy an xenium right now, our co-contest sponsor www.xbox-gear.com would like to inform all non-winners and entrants they as an official xenium reseller offer competitive prices and worldwide shipping of their products.
