UX Booth is excited about its quickly approaching one-year anniversary coming this November. To celebrate our shiny new digs and our first birthday, we’ve assembled some amazing prizes for our valued community.
Update: Contest is now closed
Thanks to those who entered! We will be contacting the winners shortly.
How to Enter
Scroll through the prizes below. Pick out your favorite prize and click the orange tweet tag (“I want this!”) next to that prize. This will take you to twitter. Post this tweet and that’s it, you’re in the running for an awesome prize!
Just for clarification, if you want a particular book from a particular publisher, we’re going to be awarding prizes on a first come, first served basis— so the sooner you enter, the better. Lastly, be sure to only tweet about one prize as we’d like everyone to have an equal chance.
Make sure to select your favorite prize and tweet about it by Friday, October 2nd. We’ll collect entries and announce winners next week. Good luck!

By the way, the link underneath the Rosenfeld post links to Twitter with the ThemeForest enter message. I first posted the wrong link. :) The button next to the picture gave the correct link.

Happy 1st anniversary! And thanks a lot for the contest, great giveaways! I’m into ThemeForest..
Sweet just tweeted about the O’Rielly books!

My tweet
Thanks! Will fix it now.
The redesign is good, but the adds on the right are way to eye catchy because of the color than the rest of the page content!!!
Thanks for the feedback Chetan! We’re working on finding a good balance with our sponsorships. In the next few days, we should drop down to only 3 exclusive We’ll be dropping all of our old ad inventory, and move to our new sponsorships within the next week or so—hopefully that makes it easier to focus on the content!
Happy Anniversary and thanks for the great give away!
Cheers.
Looks awesome. Can’t seem to tweet the contests though, just a blank/# link…too late am i?
When will the result of the contest be out? Waiting for it.
Just wanted to add another comment about how much I enjoy this new design. As I’ve been on here today, browsing around, I really love the small, little details you’ve added. For instance, all the folder icons used for the blog categories open when you hover on them. And then the way you branded “ux booth” into each admins comments is a great idea. Really helps set it apart from the other, without it being too flashy. Great job, again, guys.
So who are the winners?
I’m ready to accept Axure!
Did I missed anything or didn’t really saw the winners posted ?
