Winter CMS Challenge Coin

Winter CMS Challenge Coin

Winter CMS Challenge Coins are numbered coins that are issued to recognize the contributions and support by various people to the Winter CMS project and Laravel ecosystem as a whole. Challenge coins are a tradition that dates back millennia and we use them to provide a token of recognition to the people that have helped make Winter what it is today.

The coin consists of two sides; the front has the Winter CMS snowflake over a 3d impression of a snow capped mountain range with the PHP & Laravel logos with the words "Winter CMS" and "Enjoy Development Again" on the top and bottom respectively. Centred in bottom of the front is a spot where the number of the coin is engraved. The back has a glow-in-the-dark QR code that links to WinterCMS.com and is surrounded on the four corners by the four pillars of Winter: "Speed, Simplicity, Stability, Security".

If you know of someone that has provided meaningful contributions to the Winter CMS project or community, please use the form below to submit a nomination for a coin. All nominations will be considered.
