http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2007/07/win-this-competition-and-shirt-off-our.html And more!!! GRAND PRIZE: * 8 gb Apple iPhone! * Jawbone BlueTooth Headset * $400 gift card for JetBlue Airlines * A TON of Google memorabilia. You won't even believe it. * $500 Threadless Gift Certificate (can be redeemed for $200 cash) * $2,000 in cash ....when tasked with creating the ultimate Gmail T-shirt design, I decided to turn to the wisdom of the crowds: you, our creative and tech-savvy Gmail users. Starting today you can submit a design that you think embodies the Gmail personality most. Also, you'll be able score designs and let us know the designs that you think have the most potential (think: not ox weight, but T-shirt awesomeness). We've teamed up with Threadless.com which does this sort of thing all the time. Threadless.com is a site where anyone can submit designs that they'd like to see appear on a T-shirt, people vote, and a small number of winners are printed and sold online. Today, Gmail and Threadless launched a competition created specifically for Gmail with the theme "Connect!" To make it even more interesting, we're giving away an 8GB iPhone, a Jawbone Bluetooth headset, a $400 gift certificate from JetBlue Airlines, some fun Google schwag, and a whole bunch of moolah to the winning designer. So go ahead and pull out your Moleskine notebook, sharpen those No. 2 pencils, and submit away. The contest opens today, and will close at 11:59:59pm CST on August 16th. Remember that I'll be looking to all of you to help grade the designs. In a way, I trust your judgment more than mine. After all, I once tried to launch Gmail Paper.

Pretty interesting contest and worth it, but it I am not a web designer, too bad, maybe 8everything should do this.
damn i wish if i was a Designer, then i would submit my Design for sure. yah 8everything might give a shot. good luck whoever submit.
They Should have a more related contest, like something webmaster/seo/pr/etc. related. Something you need no talent to do.
Why I can't find the any page about the competition in gmail and threadless.com? and who will judge the competition?
That's really cool. I'll have to let my artsy friends know. Those are some pretty nice prizes. I'll take the money and the plane voucher!
I would expect more of a payout by google. I would enter, but the chances of me winning on such a large scale contest are slim to none.
