PSD Designs

Weebly is looking for layered PSD designs, which they will convert for use on their platform. Contest entries require no HTML or CSS coding.

Expert Panel of Judges

Opportunity Beyond Winning

Even entries that do not win, may have a chance of being adopted into Weebly’s collection of free themes made available to their users. Such themes include a link to the designer’s profile page with their website/portfolio address, and designer credit is given in the theme’s source code.

There’s opportunity for many with this theme design contest. Watch a video about the competition and get more details at the contest site. The deadline to enter is April 30, 2010.
