Do you design your blog’s theme yourself? Do you heavily modify a free WordPress theme on your blog? If you answer ‘yes’ to any of these, then you are eligible to be nominated to the Best WordPress Design Award by WPWebHost.
There are different categories that you can join and the winner of each category will get $200 via PayPal. Even if you don’t win, your site might get some recognition and who knows, new readers.
I was contacted by Foress from WPWebHost to join the contest, so I decided to. Although I didn’t design this theme myself (it’s a premium theme called Arthemia Premium), I did a few minor modifications to it. Although there are so many great themes out there, it doesn’t hurt to join.
I decided to enter this blog in the Best Modern & Elegant Design. Somehow I think I’m not gonna win (there are just so many great designers out there with their own custom themes), but it all depends on the voters, so hopefully I can see some of you voting for this blog especially if you love this blog 
The categories are:
- Best Modern & Elegant
- Best Hand-Drawing Style
- Best Grunge
- Best Retro & Vintage
- Best Clean & Minimalist
If you want to join, then head off to the Best WordPress Design Award page.

I joined the contest too. Good luck to you!
I am always too scared to enter things like these. Good luck with your entry, I will hold thumbs for you.
Well it’s not like you have to pay anything to join
You should join too, Lyn!
good. I’m gonna join too
I won’t join the contest, but good luck to all the contestants.
Your First $100
Mike,
Great to know about this contest. but, how can you join the contest when the current theme in your blog is designed by other person?
Yeah I told that to the contest owner and he said it’s fine O_o I guess the contest will evaluate the overall layout, etc and not the design itself. Your theme can be good but if you lay out everything poorly, then it won’t be a good theme anymore
Good luck! You will get a vote from me. I’ll head on to the page later. I love modifying themes, and if only I have enough time I’d join.
Thanks, Marlene. Looking forward to see your vote
Hey, Thanks for letting me know, I will submit under clean & minimalist category.. all the best to you
I will Vote for you too 
Thanks Nicholas
Good luck!
Hey all the best to you!
I need a programmer or something to make ‘the perfect site’. I dont know enough to do what I want to do, unfortunately.
