ThemeShaper has launched a different kind of theme contest: The Next WordPress Default Theme. In this contest, participants are to submit ideas (instead of full-fledged themes) for what should be the next default WP theme.

It’s easy to win. Just let the community know what you think the next WordPress default theme should be like. All you have to do is leave a comment here with your great idea or ideas. Any idea is fine. You don’t need to be a theme developer, all you need is an opinion. Not enough room? Write a post on your own blog outlining your ideas (and to make sure I find it, leave a comment here with a link to your post). The three best ideas/proposals, as judged by iThemes and ThemeShaper, will be awarded the prizes. If we think they’re good ideas, you win! Simple.

The contest prizes are as follows:

Grand Prize: Your choice of 4 single-use license iThemes themes.

First Runner-up: Your choice of 2 single-use license iThemes themes.

Second Runner-up: Your choice of 1 single-use license iThemes theme.

Please note: Revolution will not be included in this offer.

The contest ends on March 24 at 10:00 PM central time. The winners will be announced on March 26.
