What's this all about?
Without question, CodeCanyon is the best marketplace on the web for buying and selling code components. Many authors make thousands upon thousands of dollars each month as authors.
So we’d like to spread the word, and provide some incentive in the process. $41,000 of incentive!

Nettuts+How's it work?
-
Build an item...
We’re searching for kick-ass, premium plugins and mobile components at the moment. Think about what you personally have found yourself in need of. A Joomla events calender? A WordPress membership system, perhaps? What about a Titanium boilerplate to jumpstart your iPhone app?
Well, get started building it!
-
Submit to CodeCanyon
When your item is complete, submit it to CodeCanyon. If you don’t yet have an author account, that's okay; take a few moments to sign up for a free account.
-
That's it!
You’re done! Once your item is accepted on the marketplace, not only will you profit from each sale, but you’ll also be automatically entered into the competition! When choosing the winners, we'll consider everything from design, to code quality, to the item's popularity. To the best comes the spoils!
