MyBB is great. It has all sorts of nifty features that put other Bulletin Boards to shame, and a community of great people (you guys) who are always ready to lend a helping hand when another is in trouble.

Unfortunately there has always been a lack of themes for MyBB, and this is disappointing to say the least. Without a theme, your forum wouldn’t have the individuality that it should have. Instead, it would be one of many forums I have seen that still use the MyBB Default Theme.

Not that there is anything wrong with the default of course, and indeed it is perfect to start your fledgling forum off with. Soon however, your members will increase in number and your forum will start to take a unique shape…and you will need a unique theme to match it.

The lack of themes for MyBB makes this very hard to do, and we at MyBB Fans have decided that enough is enough. More themes MUST be made, and you guys are going to do it for us (because we’re lazy like that). Of course such a monumental task can’t just be thrust on you all like this, it just wouldn’t be fair, and so we have constructed a CONTEST to get you all in a competitive mood!

MyBB 1.2 Theming Contest

You mission (which you have no choice but to accept) is to create a theme for MyBB 1.2 that will be judged by a team of highly trained and intelligent people. The judges will mark your theme according to various criteria, and the community will also get a chance to judge the themes as well.

The top 5 themes will be awarded prizes, which range from $10USD to a whopping $100USD!!! Each winner will also receive a 1 year premium membership at MyBB Fans, and a lifetime @mybbfans.com email address which you can use to send commiserations / taunts / insults to the people who did not win.

If you are new to theming you can still enter (in fact this is encouraged) and you will received bonus points if this is your very first theme.
