Fire up Fireworks and get creative! Fireworks Zone is holding a contest for the best Adobe® Fireworks®-created wallpapers. All Fireworks enthusiasts are invited to join the open theme contest, which runs until December 1, 2009.

Go to Fireworks Zone’s contest page for more details. Good luck, and show them all what Fireworks is really capable of!
