Skins are technology that allows customizing the Windows Media Player appearance and features.  Skins combine original artwork, XML (Extensible Markup Language) and JScript to provide a unique Windows Media Player experience.

The associated web pages contain contest rules, judging criteria and a library from which you can download submitted skins. There are also links to Windows Media Player skin galleries, tutorials and development references.

All Howard University students were eligible to participate in this contest by submitting Windows Media Player skins that reflect the rich "flava" of the African-American culture and history.

Celebrate Black History any time with a Howard University Windows Media Player skin!!
