How We Judge

All winners will be chosen by a panel of judges consisting of one judge from AutoBlogged.com and three independent judges not affiliated with AutoBlogged.com.

The winners of the contest will be decided based on the following criteria:
• Overall creativity, originality, and concept – we want to be amazed.
• Creative and innovative use of AutoBlogged features – we want to show off what AutoBlogged can really do.
• General usefulness and value of the site – we don’t want to fill up the Internet with junk and we want to show that autoblogs aren’t just spam sites.
• Visual presentation, and usability – we want the site to look great and be easy to navigate.

For more information, please see our Contest Rules.

Note that this isn’t a design contest, the emphasis here is on the original and creative use of AutoBlogged, but we want to see sites that we are proud to show off as AutoBlogged example sites. Since this isn’t a design contest you are free to use any WordPress theme you want. Here are some premium WordPress themes we recommend.

Example Sites

To get things started we set up a few autoblogs of our own to show what kind of stuff we are looking for.
