Marketplace Redesign Sneak Peek

As you may know, the Envato marketplaces are in the process of a major redesign which we'll be launching by the end of this month!

Besides giving the sites a much needed facelift, we've done our best to take on board as much of the community's feedback as possible, and have added many new features in order to improve the marketplaces.

Here's a sneak peek of what you can expect from the new marketplace forums:

Stay tuned for the full redesign coming out in late September!

$2,200 Music Template Competition

On FlashDen, there's a category with only two files and they're getting pretty lonely. It's the music templates category, and it's about time they were joined by some new friends. In our new competition, participants have a shot at winning $1000, $500, or $250 by uploading the best music-related template. In addition, all three winners will receive $150 worth of premium placement on hotscripts.com to get their files noticed!

$1,000 Logos & Idents Competition!

To celebrate the launch of our new Logos & Idents audio category, we're are giving away $1,000 worth of prizes to any new audio submitted into this category!

Audio logos, stingers and idents are short pieces of music used for branding and identification, typically used in intros. They are predominantly used in film or on TV to give an audio identity as well as a visual identity to perhaps a logo or a product. Audio logos are also used on the Web in videos, independent films and podcasts as well as on radio and in console games.

To enter the competition, simply create and upload either an individual audio file and/or a pack of audio files suitable for our new Logos & Idents category, and once it's accepted into our library, you're in with a chance of winning one of our awesome prizes!
