We're thrilled to announce the return of the Umbraco awards at
this year's CodeGarden.
There's a lot of great Umbraco work going on in our community with
people using Umbraco in many impressive ways. Now it's time to get
all that fantastic work out in the limelight. We've made it free to
participate and we'll have the following categories.
Best Technical Solution
In this category we'll promote the best and most innovative
usage of Umbraco, the concepts and API's. So the focus is on the
technical usage of Umbraco. So show us the clever things you have
done with Umbraco.
Best Designed Site
We're looking for the designs that blow you away. Not only
visually, but also in respect to web standards. Where stunning
design meets clean markup.
Best Integration
Usually Umbraco doesn't stand alone and is often integrated with
other systems. We've got an award ourselves for integration (BNP
CMS Awards 2006) and we'd like to see how you're using Umbraco as a
hub for other systems.
Case studies
Here at the Umbraco HQ, we think that with all these great
submissions that it would be a brilliant idea to turn these into
case studies. So by entering into the Umbraco Awards please make
sure you and your client agree that we may use your submission as a
case study on the umbraco.com website - its great exposure for you
and your client.
