Concurso de Plantillas para Expression Engine

Como exusuarios de pMachine hemos recibido hoy un aviso de que la gente de pMachine está organizando un concurso abierto de diseño de plantillas para Expression Engine.

Se trata de uno de esos concursos donde sí hay premios, de hecho el ganador se lleva un iPod mini, una copia de Expression Engine y un año de hosting.

No hace falta tener conocimientos ni estudiar cómo funcionan las plantillas de EE, ya que sólo hay que enviar un XHTML con su correspondiente CSS.

Para quien pueda estar interesado, a continuación está el mail con toda la información o también puedes visitar la página del concurso.
