Web Directions North Ticket Contest

November 24, 2006

If you haven’t already seen this, Digital Web Magazine is running a contest to win a ticket to Web Directions North– design a snowboard or take a photo of yourself with an improvised snowboard, and you could win some fabulous prizes.

First prize is a free ticket to Web Directions North in Vancouver, including a ski pass.

Even though I’m not eligible for the contest, I thought I’d put one together anyway, just for kicks.

Here it is – I call it “The Motherboard” (sorry, I know its cheesy):

Just keep in mind that I make no claim to being a designer. :)

Nicely done Derek. I’m hoping to find some time over the weekend to make a couple of designs and cross my fingers for the winning ticket so we can finally have that beer we’ve been talking about for ages.

Haha, is that stock photography or did you pop open your computer?
Nice work :o)

Web coders seem to have a unique relationship with snowboarding.

This kind of contest holds a lot of merit since it favors talent over mere luck!
