A couple of months ago, MailChimp announced an Email Template Throwdown in which web designers could compete for best template created with their email marketing service. The victors would win a sweet Championship Wrestling Belt along with their victory and $600. More than 70 designers entered the contest, and a couple of weeks ago Mailchimp declared three Template Throwdown winners and three honorable mentions.

The winners included Melanie Wilke and her “Good Manners” template, Scott Hardigree and his “Indiemark” template, and Dominique Elkind with her “Public Banana” template. Runners up were the “Slick Simian,” “Mad Cow,” and “Scrapbook” templates. Check out all the winning templates.

The winners’ templates are now available for users to utilize within MailChimp. You have the capabilities to tweak each template just as you would with any MailChimp template. With powerful tools, such as a/b testing and segementation, MailChimp is an easy email marketing software for small business owners who need to send out eNewsletters without the fuss of designing their own email campaign.
