A designer may enter as many skins as they like.  Each skin can be entered into only one of the following categories, which have their own judging criteria.

Portal Template: You should supply an example portal template which best shows off your skin.
Skin Type: HTML Skins are preferred, however ASCX Skis are acceptable also.

1. Modern Business

This skin should be geared towards small to medium sized business.  It may contain a products page, client cases / references, about us, etc. It should have a clean, modern and professional look and feel. Also this skin should lend itself  to "adapt" to different business branding.

2. Personal

This skin should be geared towards a single person and may likely contain a blog or a portfolio or a community-like presentation. This would be a skin that has a highly-specialized personal design or layout.
It typically doesn’t lend itself to being modified by dropping a logo in.

3. Modern Web Standards

This skin should showcase the technical possibilities of DotNetNuke in this area.  Examples could be a tableless full CSS skin, Flexible/ Floating Design, SEO, mobile skin, accessibility or the use of a XHTML/CSS Framework etc. The main purpose would be educational, to show what's possible and how.

4. Think Outside the Box

This is the most open and creative category; we would like you to explore what's possible with DotNetNuke skinning. This could be in the way you navigate, a "different" design or the techniques used. Suggested techniques could be jQuery, Flash, Silverlight etc. The best thing to achieve here would be; "Wow, is that DotNetNuke?" Please note that even for this category you have to include all source files. This means you need to provide your FLA files for Flash for instance.
