PhilPapers design contest

http://philpapers.org/design_contest.html


As part of our efforts to rejuvenate the user interface of PhilPapers and associated services, we are announcing a design contest for a new PhilPapers header and logo. The PhilPapers Foundation offers a prize of CA$4000 for the winning design. In addition, the winner's name will be displayed on PhilPapers with an optional link to a professional or corporate page. In case two or more designs are successful and we combine them, the main prize will be split in a proportion determined by the Foundation.
Evaluation: Submitted designs should align with the purpose and audience of PhilPapers. We have a preference for a simple, modern design, but we are open to all ideas. The design should also be relatively easily adaptable to our other sites (e.g. philevents.org) and should suit a fixed-width (centered) content page (unlike the current design). The board of the Foundation will select a short list of finalists (five or six), and these finalists will be asked to produce a few additional logos with other names, including PhilEvents, before we make our final decision. As a condition for receiving prizes, winners will be asked to submit production-ready, scalable Adobe Illustrator vector graphics versions of their designs.
Participants should submit an image file containing a final design (not just a sketch) for the part of the site (philpapers.org) from the top menu (inclusive) to the top of the page, including a new logo. The submission deadline is April 30 (23:59pm Eastern time). Participants may submit multiple designs. Please send submissions and inquiries to contest[at sign]philpapers.org. In submitting artwork to the contest, you agree to cede the rights to all submitted artwork to the PhilPapers Foundation if you receive a prize of at least CA$500. We reserve the right to award no prize if no design is satisfactory.
