With the release of latest release of the Sandbox WordPress theme, Scott has announced a Sandbox Designs Competition.

I was already somewhat thinking of building my next design on Sandbox a couple of days ago when I downloaded v0.9 and installed it on FamilyGeek.net. Especially after reading the following description of the theme.

The Sandbox is a theme for themers. It has the ability to be easily skinned, so beginners will feel comfortable styling it since they only need to know CSS. More experienced designers will drool at the rich semantic markup and profusion of classes, dynamically generated by a few functions.

Once the official rules are posted tomorrow on www.plaintxt.org, I plan on starting my rough layout.

I have only been working with web design (with php and css) for the last six months but I want to use this contest as a deadline for creating a new theme. I am sure their will be a lot of amazing designers competing so if all else fails at least we should all have some new themes to try on.
