Happy Tenth Anniversary, ZK!

In honor of this very special occasion, for the first time ever, ZK team is hosting a

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.

[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.
