The User Interface Competition
Show off your design skills!



How good are you with CSS3?
Take up the CSS-only design challenge and create an amazing layout with CSS alone for a chance to show off your creativity and Win a Moto 360 Watch.

Why?
There is a continuing need to show the power of CSS.
This challenge aims to excite, inspire, and encourage participation.
With our predefined HTML file, can you use CSS only to create an awesome layout?

Yes. The HTML should remain the same, the only thing that you can change is the external CSS file.

And

Internet users are accessing content from so many different devices, with mobile accounting for the highest.
We must learn to take mobile very seriously and focus creating a intuitive, fast-loading and robust interfaces to this content on mobile devices.

This is why the Lagos Google Developer Group is running this contest.

There are 2 Moto 360 Watches up for grabs.

Thank you to everyone who signed up for the CSS Design Challenge. There have been some really awesome entries. Big thanks to all contestants who have sent theirs in.

They are extending the deadline by two weeks -the new closing date is November 14.

They got a LOT of feedback today so we are doing this for four reasons -

1. Upload Problem - Server Timeouts
They also got a number of complaints - some people have had problems uploading their designs.

They found out that this problem usually happens when due to slow internet and/or big file size the design takes longer than one minute to upload. They are creating a workaround right now.

2. Upload Problem - incorrect folder structure
The correct folder structure is
/assets
/assets/styles.css
/assets/img
/assets/fonts
/assets/css

The upload bit searches for the presence of a styles.css in the assets folder. The assets folder should be in the root of the zip file. Directly.

3. CSS Attribute problem
They got a complaint that it would be a lot easier if they assigned an attribute to the body tag for the different pages - one for the homepage body tag and another for the single-post page. They are adding this and updating the boilerplate design. If you have already submitted your design, this would not affect you in anyway.

4. More Entries?
They have got some good to awesome entries but they can always do with more

So, in summary, they are extending the contest by two weeks - and the contest will close for submissions November 14 at 11:59PM.
