We have another update for all of you beta testers and users alike who are interested in learning more about how to get involved in our new community-driven initiatives that go hand in hand with the upcoming Ad-Aware release –

To celebrate the new version of Ad-Aware, Lavasoft is hosting our first ever Skin Design Contest, giving our users the power to control the look of Ad-Adware. You can get involved either by designing your very own customized skin – creating a new look and feel for Ad-Aware’s user interface – or, by voting on your favorite new skin – choosing the final design that we’ll feature in the new release! 

Here’s how the Skin Design Contest works:

• Contest submissions are now open to our registered beta testers through MyLavasoft, as part of the Ad-Aware closed Beta. Beta testers have until August 20 to submit their entries.
• Skin submissions will be available in the Skin Gallery, where they will be viewed and voted on by your fellow Ad-Aware users from August 3 through August 20.
• The winning design will be announced on August 24 and packaged in the final release of the next version of Ad-Aware.

So, for those taking part in our closed beta testing, log-in to MyLavasoft now for more details on how to create and submit your design. And, for all the rest, stay tuned for August 3, when voting for your favorite design begins!
