Win a Free Membership to Elegant Themes

Published January 12th, 2010 in Site News

Our friends at Elegant Themes have offered to give away five one-year memberships to readers of the Vandelay Design blog! This is a great prize for some lucky bloggers or website owners.

Elegant Themes

if you’re not familiar with Elegant Themes they offer premium WordPress themes on a membership/subscription basis. And the price is a very affordable $19.95 per year. At the moment there are 30 themes to choose from, but new themes are added on a pretty steady basis.

Here is a look at a few of the themes that are available (click on any of them to see the theme detail page).

The Contest Rules:

To enter the contest all you have to do is leave a comment on this post. You can tell us why you would like to win, what you would do with the themes, or simply state that you would like to enter. The contents of the comment will not influence who wins, the five winners will be selected by a random integer generator. The contest will end on Friday, January 15th. At that time the winners will be determined and notified by email, and this post will be updated to list the winners.

Good luck!

UPDATE: The contest is now over. Thank you to everyone who participated, and of course to Elegant Themes. Here are the winners.

Have a membership through work but I’d like my own! Elegant Themes makes great templates.

G Bauman January 12th, 2010

Definitely could be handy to have some themes in my back pocket … I do contract-based design work from time to time, and the more ideas & inspiration on hand, the better!

Cayo Medeiros January 12th, 2010

I think it would be an awesome way of learning different techniques for building WP themes!

Remus January 13th, 2010

I like to win a theme to use it in my future web projects and the design is Elegant :D

Good luck

Remus

CathaliN January 13th, 2010

I’d like to win because I’m a wordpress fun and also I’d like to help on improving those themes, using them on my future web projects. Of course, like the name sais, all the themes are elegant.
Also I’d like to win to give me a gift because my twentysixth birthday is near, on 18.
Thank you very much!

Joy January 13th, 2010

I’d love to have a nice new design for my blog (after a long hiatus) for 2010. :)

AJ January 13th, 2010

I love the subscription business model – unique approach to a common idea. I’d love a membership just to see what they have available. I’d probably be a thousand times more likely to start up all those blog ideas whizzing around in my head too if I had access to something like this ;-)
