Are you a seasoned template maker, or a hobbyist just getting into the craft? The Template Jam is giving the entire RPR community the chance to show off their CSS skills with a fall contest. Step on up and show us what you're made of for a chance at some great prizes!

The theme is Winter's Chill.

Guideline For Entries:

  • Entries must be made free to all Epic Users on completion, and by entering, you promise to keep it free to use regardless of your placement in the judging. (Make sure they have a SFW title as well.)
  • Post your entries to the original contest thread on The Template Jam forums. Entries not submitted in this thread will not be valid.
  • You must have a sample profile that shows off the features of the template that judges can test it with. Include BBCode formatting examples for Bold, Italic, Underline, Links, and Strike, Quote, Collapse, List, and all widgets. You must also show a drop-down menu example for page tabs. Link to this with your entry. It must be available to view until November 1st.

Gentle bump. Tell friends! There's enough prizes for literally every person who enters because I have extra cloaks!
