Will Soon Look Like… — .Tel Pages

Contest for .tel facelift ends. Now for the winner…

.Tel pages may soon get a facelift courtesy of a design competition.

Telnic, which runs the .tel domain, ran a contest

on 99Designs to get user submissions of a potential fresh template. It received 223 submissions as of Wednesday’s deadline.

.Tel is a unique domain name created for disseminating contact information across the internet.

Now Telnic will make a shortlist of the templates and present them to the .tel community for feedback.

The 99Designs community has by now created a shortlist of its own. You can see the highest rated templates here.
