Happy Tenth Anniversary, ZK!
In honor of this very special occasion, for the first time ever, ZK team is hosting a
Data-Attribute Handler Contest! Celebrate with us!
Prove your skills, showcase your talents and win a New Years gift!

This contest is open to all ZKers and web developers. Our only requirements are that you (1) use ZK 8’s data-handler to create your design and (2) agree to make your code open-source.
*To see examples of integrating third-party JavaScript libraries with ZK 8’s data-handler, please visit ZK8: Simple but Powerful; Using Data-handler API to Work with Front-End Technologies and refer to the third demo here: ZK8 Demo Page.
[Advanced Users]
Experienced participants also have the option of creating their third-party integration project using other ZK8-based techniques, such as Shadow/UI Templating and Client-Binding.
