Just an interesting-sounding contest with some pretty nice prizes (wacom tablets, wacom cintiq, and tablet pcs) for design and illustration:

Only problem for most of the people here is there is an age restriction of 18+ (snooping around pulled that out from the rules).

Worth checking out though...

KWA!!1 (¬¬)' i am not 18......

Hey, I can enter that. -does so- I doubt anything I create will win. I am no where near as good as anyone in this god forsaken world........

..... but it's a good excuse to download sexy freeware.

It's not freeware...
you're 18?

Freeware, trial.. almost the same thing.

I'm not 18.

Could I not just say my mum entered?

yeah if its still open i'll enter in... 3 months.. and.. 19 days. i'll be legal. scary shit.

It also appears to be USA/Canada only, with some restrictions on canada... I'd read the rules first.

Damn, are you serious? Hell, I'm just gonna lie. I want to enter this damn thing.

I am no where near as good as anyone in this god forsaken world........

ROFL.

... Consider me entered! Although I guess I'll have to be working on this like crazy since i got the mouse and all, and that definetly will have some setbacks.

You? A mouse? No way. Well, that just goes to show how much more I suck in comparison.

Yeah, it'll have some serious setbacks, seeing as the whole program was designed for tablets, and has the pressure-sensitive thing, and all sorts of crap, specifically for the tablet..... Why can't they be less expensive? -shakes fist at retailers-

Ok, I'm interested in what you guys are submitting for this thing. After the deadline, post whatever you decided to submit on the post board please. Only if you feel like it of course. It'd be awesome if anyone from 2draw won (especially me). Anyone notice how badass most of the stuff in the gallery is?
