Jollyfy (www.jollyfy.com) today announced a creative designer contest, the ‘Jollyfy@SXSW Theme-a-Thon’ which challenges iPhone and iPad developers and designers to create the most popular video themes around the SXSW interactive/film/music festival, which takes place in Austin, Texas March 8-17.

The Jollyfy@SXSW Theme-a-Thon provides interactive designers with a chance to gain global recognition during SXSW, and win a 32 GB iPad Mini. The Jollyfy theme which gets the most downloads and has the most videos created with it between the date of submission and March 20th will be declared the winner. Jollyfy will announce the winner on Monday, March 25, 2013. More information on the contest is available at http://www.jollyfy.com/fsxsw.

Designers can use their graphic tools of choice – from Adobe Photoshop to AfterEffects to Maya and Blender 3D – to create themes for Jollyfy. Jollyfy app users can then download these themes onto their iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch and use them to record and share SXSW-themed videos and group video albums.

The most popular Jollyfy@SXSW theme will be scored based on the most number of users downloading and using the theme (3 points per user), plus the most number of videos made with the theme (1 point per video). At least 3 different users must make and share videos with a theme for that theme to qualify for prizes. Up to 4 runner-ups will receive $50 [iTunes] gift cards.

Designers must submit their themes to Jollyfy by 11:59:59 pm EST on Friday, March 15 to be considered for the contest. Information on how to create and submit Jollyfy themes and other contest information, resources and terms are available at http://www.jollyfy.com/fsxsw.

Users can make Jollyfy themes with many popular graphics and motion graphics software programs, including Adobe Photoshop, Aftereffects, Premiere; Apple Motion, Final Cut Pro; Autodesk’s Maya; Smith Micro’s Anime Studio; Maxon’s CINEMA 4D and the open source programs, GIMP and Blender 3D. Themes can include text, images, video elements, animation, special effects, 3D images, filters, and more. A simple in-app “theme wizard” enabling users without any knowledge of these tools to make rich themes will also be launched soon. More information and instructional videos are available on the Jollyfy website at http://www.jollyfy.com/fsxsw/tutor.php.
