Top 25 so far & new design

After the last Top 30 now we have a real TOP25. The differences between all contestants is still small but still slowly bigger than 2 weeks ago.
In general we see that models are in amount the most active to participate, but photographers & designers are more eager to get votes apparently. But the contest remains still 33 days, so a lot can change.



Next week the design from our previous winner Hazerico will be in presale; very exciting to see if all fans also will buy the design. We are also looking forward to the photoshoot with  Alena in August.
That will give us an opportunity to shoot some new content for the site trailer together with Alena as well;

Talking about the site. We are currently in the process of redesigning the site & adding some functionalities. We started off with a simple one for the first contest, few months later we introduced the co-creation site, than we created the current site because of our partnership with MSN  & now we are reengineering the current site to the platform where we will provide more added value, not only co-creation but also a lot of networking opportunities.  

Soon we hope to present you some screenshot of the new design.
In case you have any ideas, please share it with us.

Enjoy your weekend!
