Design To Inspire Contest

Hewlett-Packard has launched a contest to design the best theme for TypePad, Vox and LiveJournal. Design To Inspire is the latest initiative from the innovative US tech solutions provider, who have recently teamed up with musician Gwen Stefani to provide cutting-edge design options to their customers.

As we mentioned earlier on this blog, Six Apart products are also big on design. Besides the intrinsic flexibility and customizability of TypePad and Movable Type, we have recently rolled out brand-new themes and Design Assistants for both TypePad and Movable Type. Meanwhile, award-winning Vox has always offered a number and quality of designs unseen in a free service. And, since a picture speaks a thousand words, perhaps these examples will demonstrate our commitment to design.

Although anybody anywhere is free to submit designs, the contest is open officially only to US residents. This means that European entries will be accepted but are not eligible to win prizes -- but it is a good opportunity to gain notoriety as a designer in North America. The deadline for submissions is 4 April and results will be announced on 22 April. Good luck!
