NOTICE (14/09/2012):
We are happy to announce that the CKEditor 4 Skin Contest has been extended!
Due to overwhelming demand we decided to move the submission end date forward by one week. It will give those who started late (shame on you) more time to submit their entries before closing time. The new deadlines are as follows:
End of submission round: September 23, 2012
End of judging round: September 30, 2012
it's not clear for me - can I use icons (and other resources) not created by me, but which have Creative Commons Attribution License?
Yes, icons are the only exception when using third-party work, as long as they are licensed under the Creative Commons license. It's defined here in the Skin Contest rules. You must not forget that submissions that are 100% original will be favored over those that use pre-made icons.
Some important notes about things to be considered when participating can be found here:

What date will you be closing this comp? It would be good to have some target date we can schedule around.
Cheers,
Simon
There's a timeline on Strutta:
The skin must have "retina ready" icons (32x32) like an option to change the icons size or just normal 16x16 icons ?
We don't mention retina in our rules because we don't want to discourage people, but we are seriously looking into it. So it wouldn't hurt to include both icon sets. It would certainly help you.
So, can I base my skin on a Kama skin with some modification?
Yes, of course. That's how it's supposed to be done.
