What will it take for Drupal to break through to be the most popular platform for websites? Drupal needs better marketing. Specifically Drupal needs more showcase sites and case studies to help evaluators understand what can be done with Drupal. We've already got a good list of case studies, success stories, featured sites, and a list of show case sites. To help rally the community, there will be a Drupal site showcase and case study contest at the upcoming Boston Drupalcon.

Go on over to the Drupalcon Boston site to submit your favorite sites and view and vote for the best ones.

Submitted sites will be voted on online and judged by a panel of community nominated judges. Great prizes will be awarded to the winners! This is a chance to have all your hard work creating amazing Drupal sites recognized.

We'll also be hosting a session to discuss popular, high traffic and enterprise Drupal sites. We will also address why Drupal is often the platform of choice.

Please post comments here to nominate judges you feel would be best suited to judge these high caliber sites. Volunteers are needed to enter 50 pre-identified showcase sites and case studies.

Thanks and see you in Boston!

I am planning on making a case study regarding drupal myself. I have to agree, drupal IS the best platform for anything.

I'm in the same situation - I'll have a showcase about a site I built coming in the next few days. Well, it's more than a site - it's a Google News like platform adaptable to any theme - it automatically cluster, categorize and rank news coming from rss feeds. What's the deadline to submit a showcase to be presented?

Do you need to be going to Drupalcon to submit a site?

I'm hoping there would be entries of cool Drupal sites coming here from Asia. :)

The link to submit a site seems to be wrong: http://boston2008.drupalcon.org/node/add/showcase-site seems to be the correct link.

It'll make the showcase more rewarding to browse...

We had manually added image links to images on our wiki, following someone else's lead.
