Well! With Stardock being a major part of the judging team, will Stardock’s employees such as MikeB be permitted to participate in the Gui Championship? Stardock has hired many so-called Masters to work on special projects which can be viewed as "Work on the side",but there are those who hold tittles from Stardock. Are Wizops, Administrators, and other Stardock employees entitled to submit entries in the Gui Championship?

How long do we have to wait till we can upload to WinC, once we uploaded our entry to the GUIC site? Do we have to wait until after the competition is over?

I don't have a team...How's that going to work?

You must submit to the GUI Champs FIRST.  Once the entry is posted to the GUIC site you are welcome to post it to other sites as you wish.  We just ask that you make mention that it is a GUIC entry and provide a link back to the contest site.  THat helps drive traffic and gets the word out.

Note that entries posted to the GUIC will be merged with WinCustomize after the contest is over, so you don't necessarily need to upload them to WC separately.

Teams are more for fun than anything else.  Users will form groups with their friends in the community.  Each user competes seperately for the regular events.  Every medal awarded has a point value.  At the end of the competition we add up those points by team.  The team with the most points wins a bit extra.  It's just a fun thing to do, and an excuse for us to give away extra cash 

Hmm, I didn't know that. I'm currently not affiliated with a team...anyone looking for a Dreamer for a team member?

When is the GUIC end date?

The GUIC will run almost up until Christmas.  We will list the deadline dates and all that good stuff soon.
