Author: Sean Hodge

Hi All! I recently moved to the outskirts of Orlando, Florida. I'm the editor of Psdtuts+ and Vectortuts+. Also, visit my blog AiBURN where I feature some of my creative work and ideas. Or follow me on Twitter: @seanHodge.

Congratulations to the Winners!

These are the preliminary results. Finalizing the winners is contingent upon review and approval of final PSD source files. Once the files are approved and the designs are coded by Html Rockstars we'll be posting news of the finalized themes. Thanks to everyone who entered!

About the Contest

This is a joint contest with ThemeForest, which is quickly becoming the premier location to purchase or sell site themes and designs. Submit your best portfolio-style Wordpress theme design. Wow us with your talent and creativity!

To enter, design a portfolio theme in Photoshop, and if selected, we'll get our friends HTMLRockstars to convert it to a valid WordPress theme. In addition to the prizes up for grabs, you'll also benefit by earning from 40-70% of each sale on ThemeForest!

Keep in mind you could design the most elaborate portfolio in the world, but if it isn't practical and usable, nobody will buy it. Work on making a highly usable design that also stands out creatively, which will lead to success. Here are some examples of some great, and high-selling, portfolio themes that have a professional design:

Read on to find out more about Judging Criteria, How to Enter, Prizes, Terms & Conditions, and learn about our Sponsors. Entries are open between now and the September 28th. So, get your entries in before the end of September 28th, 2009 Eastern Standard Time. Get creative with this contest and have some fun!

        dp September 1st

        hmmm…. that turns it into an incredible amount of work. Why not pick a winning homepage and then the designer can build out the other pages after winning. If the winning homepage is chosen, that’s a big incentive to finish/design the other pages (beautifully) because the winner will receive all the revenue from sales.

        Otherwise it’s just too much work. Chances are you’ll end up with a mediocre site which won’t sell. Of course, the person will win a few cute prizes but the real prize is the revenue from sales. Too bad, because this contest is more of an opportunity for theme forest than it is for designers. They have a chance to find some serious talent through this contest for future themes.

        High level designers won’t be able to make the time commitment to do ALL the pages. Maybe this contest is really for students and beginners.

        It’s like buying $5,000 worth of lottery tickets. Not exactly worth doing.

      2. PG

        matthew booth September 1st

        @dp – “Too bad, because this contest is more of an opportunity for theme forest than it is for designers.” – I believe they will profit from it since the receive a portion of the theme sales profit, but keep in mind they are paying for the prizes and for HTML ROckstars to build the templates.

        The winners on top of winning either cash or console/hand-held will also be receiving a % of the total sales of their theme. That means it is very much in the interest of a designer to have one of the best designs as that will most likely result in sales.

        Plus we all like the competition right? ;-)

      Sammo September 1st

      But at the end of the day ‘dp’ if people really want the First Place Prize, then they will really motivated to succeed.

      If many people think like you do and don’t enter, then the greater the chances of winning for the ones who do enter. At the end of the day someone has to win, whether PSDTUTS have 5 entries (because of the amount of work scared off others) or 50 entries.

      I think what they mean is they will take the usual 30-60% of your earnings, ouch! What they mean by all account earnings is the coders don’t take any of it.

    Hey guys i have a problem, on the flickr page its all in spanish or something, and for some reason theres a few parts on this site that looks like a bunch of weird letters and accented E’s and circles over A’s and so on.

    Also do i have to be a member on flickr to submit the design? Thanks

    ( Reply )
    1. PG

      Sean Hodge September 2nd

      I’m not sure about the Spanish issue. You don’t have to pay to Flickr to submit designs. There is a free option.

      ( Reply )
      1. PG

        Jake September 3rd

        I fixed the Spanish issue, but anyway, what i meant was, we have to make an account to submit our image instead of it just having a submit button or something.

        Anyway, thanks for the help!

    This is a contest I just might enter. As people have mentioned, it’s hard to make time if you’re doing design work for a living. Having said that, you have to pick and choose your battles. Don’t do every single little design contest that comes up. Rather, do the contests that really peak your interest.

    Since we are not building out the designs in WordPress ourselves, can we use design elements of established WordPress plugins that will then be incorporated by HTML Rockstars in the theme? In other words, can we specify some initial plugins to use with our theme?

    1 question though,

    in my personal opinion, the selling themes on themeforest does really well, not necessarily because the themes has superb design, but rather because it has fancy javascript effects.

    What’s the policy on javascript?
    Can we request certain features to the guys who code our themes, like adding sliders. and hover effects?

    QUESTION!

    Will just the homepage design be SUFFICIENT for the JUDGING?
    Or should I include other subpages like many participants of this contest did?

    Meaning, instead of showing 3 to 5 pages of the same thematic design, can I show just the homepage? Is it enough?

    Response appreciated. :-)

    Also a note to the judges: some of us had to sign up for flickr accounts so while our images are tagged correctly and submitted to the group, it will take “a few days” till we are in the portfoliowp stream. You can still see them in the psdtuts group.

    Because the flickr upload did not function properly when my entry was uploaded, I uploaded the pages to my deviantart and it wasn’t until today that I had any access to any computers and added the deviantart links as comments. Suppose they’re still on time since they were submitted before the deadline to deviantart. so please check it out at http://www.flickr.com/photos/40810155@N07/3964205771/

    Here’s some tweets about the competition:

    @iPad – yah, we weren’t sure how many submissions we’d get, but it turned out to be alot. It’s going to be tough to judge.

    @iPad – yah, the contest has concluded, as in no new entries will be considered. It will take us a week or so to choose winners. thx.

    Looking forward to see who won, I don’t know why its taking so long though there are not even 5 that could possibly win.

    Maybe they are trying to get them coded before they announce the winners.

      webitorcms October 8th

      Nah I think they will ask for the PSD’s from the 3 winners before coding, making the sites from a JPG would be nearly impossible.

      I’m dying to know too, I’m heading overseas soon and would like to know if I got a place so I can prepare the sites for sale before I leave :)

      I’m going crazy checking this post 3 times a day… makes life exciting though, the competition has been really fun, I’d like to enter more in the future

        Jon October 8th

        WOW 17 days? too much time buddy! I’m checking too the site all days a few times! The curiosity is really high!

        Makes me not really want to be bothered entering contests if they can’t be bothered judging them.

        I’m going crazy too! I was just looking through the entries again and I realized why it’s taking so long. There’s too many good ones! I can’t even decide which ones I like the best!

    “winners is contingent upon review and approval of final PSD source files”

    2nd and 3rd hardly need a PSD file, just a background image and a title….

    I wonder if these were uploaded directly to themeforest if they would have been rejected for being too similar?

    I dont mean to take anything away from the winners, just expected more “photoshop” designs

      I agree, I saw a lot better entries. Think it just shows I have different aesthetics to the judges. Really not feeling the 1st place header tho, doesn’t feel very thought out
