What is it?

A design competition for Shopify partners to find the most beautifully designed, unique and functional theme built on the platform. Check it out here: shopify.com/design-awards

The prizes

1st prize – $5k Apple Gift Card,
2 runner-up prizes – $500 Apple Gift Card each.

Looks like a great competition to me, if you use Shopify or are thinking about it, go for it.
