I recently came to know about a fantastic competition going on at Premium Mod. The competition is about modded premium themes and if you have modded any premium theme (100% GPL though) then you can head over to that post and you can take part in the competition.

After the initial amazement from the unusual post and the video there (I just wish all of the presenters were women :)) my thoughts began to swirl.
