It’s World Usability Day—the day when UX practitioners around the world hold events to raise awareness of the importance of designing products and services that are easy to access and simple to use.
To celebrate, the lovely folks at Optimal Workshop have pulled together the ultimate UX and Marketing Toolkit to give away to one lucky person.
Note: we don’t use the word “ultimate” lightly here—upworthy this aint. This is a prize pool consisting of nearly $30,000 worth of tools, services, and training material that are immediately useful for UXers.
All you have to do to enter is take a photo of “something that engaged you today” and explain why you found it engaging. User experience is all about engagement, after all, and it’s the theme for this year’s global event.
An annual subscription to the Optimal Workshop product suite is just one of many prizes up for grabs. Matt and myself will be part of the judging panel. While our professional ethics prevent us from allowing any bias to influence our decision, of course we’d love to see this amazing prize go to one of our readers.
So listen up—here’s how to win:
- Take a photo of something that engaged you today.
- Upload it and explain why it’s engaging.
- Share it with the world!
You can also vote for your favourite entries, even if you haven’t entered. The ten entries with the highest number of votes will go to the grand final to be judged by the panel, which includes Matt, myself, and Andrew the CEO of Optimal Workshop.

- Annual subscription to Treejack, OptimalSort, and Chalkmark, worth $1,990
