My submission is the Tron theme, which is semi-quasi-almost-pretty-much-finished as it stands now.

Edit: Considering adding @Almost from BitBangers for http://bitbangers.co.uk/topic/132/nodebb-plugin-anchors
Edit:
nodebb-plugin-Charts (@svandecappelle) had a number of upgrades made to it the month of October, but it was technically started in May
True to his word, the plugin was not released until October 19th, so it gets a bit grey there 
nodebb-plugin-Teamspeak (@pitaj) was removed as it was started in late September, but was included initially as @pitaj is considered a new dev. We'll let the public decide
(same with the teamspeak-widget plugin)nodebb-plugin-codepen (@a_5mith) is still included as the npm registry lists its publish date as:
"0.1.0": "2014-10-02T18:49:29.226Z, so again, grey, like the charts plugin -
@julian If we're only accepting plugins or themes that started in October, then doesn't that put nodebb-plugin-teamspeak, nodebb-plugin-codepen, nodebb-plugin-charts & nodebb-plugin-reddit out of contention too then? Seems strange to not accept a theme started before October, but plugins are fine. Mine included.
Your competition, i can see why entering one theme into a theme competition is a little out there.I'm also not sure about accepting plugins that don't work. Botler for example, as good as it sounds, has none of that functionality built in. It's just an admin menu that doesn't do anything.
From the ReadMe:
As of right now, this plugin is unusable. Currently this plugin is only interesting for other developers who want to have a shot at working on this.

That's right (that it's strange), there should be no exceptions, so I'll have to look into the commit dates for those and cull the list a bit

@a_5mith Updated the shortlist with the removed entries and explanations. I'd really appreciate feedback from other users regarding our (unfortunately) playing fast and loose with the rules (and not really cementing them in the first place!)
-
@julian I suppose it's too late to do much more about it now, but for the next one, we should probably set a hard and fast rule that plugins or themes should have an initial publish date in npm of the month of the competition. So if someone wants to spend the next x months working on the theme of all themes, they could wait until the next comp to officially publish it to npm, this would encourage quality. As I certainly couldn't build a theme in a month.

Here's a new plugin entry from me, hopefully this one will stay as a valid entry...

If I don't win, I'm taking my ball and going home!
