I'm thinking that with the release of Windows 10 most of the skinners would be waiting for compatible upgrades to Stardock software and to have some time to see what has changed, as far as skinning the OS goes. 

Just a suggestion but a Skinning Competition would probably be better received towards the end of 2015.

It might have been GUI champs.  It sure brought the best from the designers out.  I guess trying to coax the best out of the elite master skinners might be a challenge.  Personally, the title of True Master should only be given out to one:  the winner of the competition.  And held by only one at a time  

I agree, wait for the products to be upgraded.  Then let them have at it.    

Perhaps once a quarter, feature one of Stardock's popular products with a design competition.  Once it's set up for one product, switching to a different product would be fairly easy.  Featuring that one product might also increase the user base for it as it gets attention and new users/skinners of that program might take hold.  I don't know what the more popular programs are, but i could think of CursorFX,  Iconpackager, Deskcapes, Windowblinds?

Its the very diversity (diversity being the operative word) that makes Windowblinds and others so unique. You can mix and match to create just about any kind of desktop.
