TemplateMonster Authors Award – Contest Where Every Marketplace Author Can Win
You asked, and the marketplace did. In September 2024, TemplateMonster will launch an award for which authors of all product types can compete. Unlike the awards the platform launched previously, this time, authors of web themes, graphics, plugins, and other types of products can compete to win the TemplateMonster Authors Award. Another thing that makes this year’s content unique is how the winner will be selected. The winner will be chosen not only by counting traffic and product sales. The best author will be granted the TemplateMonster Authors Awards regardless of what type of products they present in the marketplace.
The most active authors can win and earn monetary bonuses in multiple nominations. The better you try, the more you get!
Timeframe: TemplateMonster Authors Awards starts in September 2024 and will run until November 2024.
5 Nominations of the TemplateMonster Authors Award
As part of the contest, the TemplateMonster digital marketplace invites authors to compete for winning prizes in 5 major nominations, as listed below.
#1 Best Products Based on Top and User Request
Authors of website templates and plugins are welcome to compete for the prizes in this nomination. The topics of products in this nomination will change monthly, and their managers will notify the authors about new topics.
The nomination includes products from the most popular niches, which are deterred using the Products Needed Tool. The sales team also gathers the most popular clients’ requests submitted to the sales chats daily.
The winner of the nomination will be chosen based on the author’s activity, the quantity and diversity of the products created, and how well those match the criteria of the most popular topics and user requests.
#2 Best AI Products
The nomination covers authors’ products that include AI functionality. Unlike AI-themed products, the items that compete in this nomination should integrate artificial intelligence technology that end users can use to their advantage when working with a selected web theme or plugin.
The TemplateMonster marketplace team will choose the winner whose products feature the most innovative AI functionality in the nomination.
#3 Best Free Products
There is no restriction regarding the product types presented in this nomination. Authors can submit free website templates, plugins, presentation templates, audio and video, 3D, and other products to compete for winning prizes on this nomination.
When selecting the winner, the marketplace team will evaluate how active an author is in the marketplace and the total number of product downloads.
#4 Best Product Updates
Authors of web themes and plugins are welcome to compete to win this nomination. The frequency and quality of releasing updates for web themes and plugins are significant reasons customers prefer one product over another. Besides, updates also influence the products’ tanking in the marketplace listings.
The marketplace team will carefully examine every author whose products are featured in the nomination and evaluate the number of updated products compared to the total number of items they list in the marketplace.
#5 Promo
The nomination has no restrictions or limitations. All authors in all product categories can enroll and use all promo formats to bring as many users to their products as possible. For example, authors can use paid promos without any limits, newsletters, and promotions on their blogs and partners’ platforms, YouTube, TikTok, etc.
Whatever method you choose for product promotion, it’s important to use UTM parameters to allow the marketplace team to track each author’s success. Contact your promo manager for help with the UTM parameter setup.
Prizes for Winners
The winner of the five nominations will get $250 to the author balance.
Each nomination will have three winners. However, if the marketplace team notices more active authors competing for the prizes in each nomination, the number of winners can be expanded.
The winners will get:
- Promotion on the official marketplace resources, including being featured in the newsletter, social media posts, partner platforms, and TemplateMonster YouTube channel.
- Promotion on the TemplateMonster digital marketplace is specifically in the featured listing.
- Getting featured as one of the most successful marketplace authors in the TemplateMonster year-end showcase.
- Authors can display badges on their product previews to distinguish themselves from other authors in the marketplace.
