What We’re Looking For
We’re calling on designers worldwide to design the future of e-commerce. We want clean, polished UI storefronts with animated features. Work that shows what a Zentrix-powered business looks and feels like. Every submission must visibly feature Zentrix — whether as a backdrop, an animation, a logo integration, or something entirely unexpected.

Why It Matters
This is a chance to define how the next generation of online businesses look. Winning entries become featured showcases on gozentrix.com, and every submission joins a public gallery seen by thousands. You keep full ownership of your work. We just want the world to see it.

Submissions
Zentrix
2026
What to Submit.
Website
Submissions
Live website URL (preferred) or Figma file. We want to see your storefront in action — working animations, hover states, and real interaction. Zentrix must be visibly featured.
URL · Figma↗
Static
Submissions
Figma file, PNG, or PDF for brand identity and product design rendering entries. High-resolution only. Presentation is everything — proper boards are what make or break design. Layout, spacing, hierarchy, and how you present your work matters as much as the work itself. Zentrix must be visibly featured.
PNG · PDF↗
Written
Rationale
A 200-word explanation of your design decisions is required with every entry. What was your concept? Why these choices? This is how we separate thoughtful work from surface-level polish.
