Did I mention that second place is $3000!  This is like easy money for some of you designers I know out there, and there is not entry fee.  If I were a designer I would be all over this.  Not just plugging this because I am currently an employee of NTT, the company that owns and manages Websites.com, but I am saying this is a serious opportunity that someone out there is leaving on the table.

I would say enter it and find out!  You have nothing to lose.  Actually if you sign up and win, and your firm is a design firm, you will get the clout and notoriety of winning this contest.  Also, even if you are not a design firm,  you need to enter this redesign contest, because this is the best type of SEO you can get.  I did not mention this in my SEO in Overdrive blog entry, but basically any type of PR you can get that is from news articles is great for y our pagerank and links out there.  So let me know if you have any questions.  I am not available to discuss the contest with anybody directly, because of my involvement, and I am not sure if I will a judge again, but I am definitely letting you know to go for it on Websites.com!
