PhotoshopStar Birthday Party Giveaway

First the updated design, now we have some goodies to giveaway celebrating our second birthday!

Happy Birthday PhotoshopStar

What to do?

There are two sets of prizes (as you can see below), and all you have to do to get the chance to win one is leave a comment below. Alternatively (or as well as) you can link back to this post and the sponsors for the chance to win something from the other set of prizes.

Our goal is to garner 175 comments and 35 trackbacks then to draw the winners. This contest is a must-see for the web developers, not just the designers because we’ve got WordPress theme licenses and free coding on the table!

I’m almost certain that we’ll reach the goal, but in case we don’t, the draw will be made one week from now.

Prizes for leaving comments

Simply leave a comment below and get the chance to win one of the following:

  • 2 x one-year deviantART subscriptions
  • 2 x three-month deviantART subscriptions
  • 1 x one-year subscription to GameWallpapers
  • 1 x one-year subscription to CGWallpapers
  • 3 month free hosting with Host Gator (Hatchling package)
  • 2 x copies of Killer Domains e-book by Daily Blog Tips

Prizes for linking back

If you want the chance to win one of these prizes, then please link back to this post from your blog; all you have to do is link to this post and our sponsors.

Sponsors

Many thanks to our sponsors who donated prizes:

Notes

Just so we’re clear, all you have to do is leave a comment below to be entered into the draw to win a prize, but if you want one of the bigger prizes, you’ll have to link back to this post and our sponsors!

Also note that the PSD2HTML prize will include one page coded using the Hi-End package, valued at $211! The winner of this prize would also be kindly requested to write a very short review of their service afterwards to be posted on PhotoshopStar.

$700+ value in total! :)

Happy Birthday Photoshop Star!

You know… Photoshop Star was where I followed the first tutorial on designing a web site the “normal” way… like starting it in Photoshop and THEN coding it… Almost two years ago, back with the “awesome band template”.
It was a revelation for me at the time.

Keep it up Eli!
