I was watching project runway and thought about how cool it would be to have a design contest - but not for like... blends/vectors n shit. But for things that professionals actually design.

Challenges could be like:

Packaging - Come up with an idea for a product and create the packaging around it.

Corporate Identity Branding - Full corporate identity for a company that you have to make up. Business cards, Letterheads, Logo.

Celeb Site - Pick a celebrity or make one up and create their site/blog.

School Brochures - Create a tri-fold brochure for a make believe school.

Software Marketing/Packaging - Create cd cover and packaging and whatnot.

Book Cover - Create a book cover

Corporate Web Site - Create a web site for a high end corporate company.

Magazine - Create the magazine cover and table of contents page.

etc.

I realize some of these challenges may be a little over peoples heads but I would be totally willing to do some of these challenges myself before they start so I can post an example so the designers can see what we're looking for.

I completely for this. I really would be dedicated, cause I've always wanted to get involved with professional shit. So as long as the contest doesn't last for too long, I'm all for it.
