Not one to toot my own horn, but the 5ThirtyOne Foliage Mod was recently awarded the “Most Creative Design” award for the Wordpress 2.0 Theme Competition.
A quick overview of the Wordpress 2.0 competition:
Wordpress has a powerful theme system that allows the look and feel of any site to be changed with a single click. The Wordpress 2.0 Theme Competition will highlight some of the most creative work of the Wordpress community.
Being the first Wordpress contest that I’ve entered, I am honored to even have recognition for a theme which *ahem* needs plenty of additional work. Congrats to the winners and enjoy your iPod Andy… Can you tell? I am a tad jealous.

That’s a pretty sweet prize, imho. Congratulations on your foilage mod winning, well deserved. (Marge Simpson: [annoyed] That’s what I said, “Foilage”.)
I think Andy may have gotten the edge with the color modifier feature. People tend to like the easy customization add-ons for a themes. I’m just theorizing…. =)

If and when the prize is actually delivered, I’m not even sure what I would do with it. Maybe a second site to flip? Andy’s win was well deserved. His use of Javascript throughout the site made it a more than honorable winner.
