Snoop Dogg wants to give you a MacBook Air
Looks like Snoop Dogg wants you to have some Apple goodness. Crestock is hosting a wallpaper design competition with the Dre protégé where the prizes over four rounds are, respectively: an iPod classic 80GB, an iPod touch 16GB, an iPod touch 32GB and a MacBook Air. The top three entries in each round also get placement on snoopdogg.com (and his mySpace page... in case anyone with enough taste to hire you actually goes to mySpace) and a load of Snoop Dogg merchandise with a street value of $500+.
With or without the d-o-double-g action, it's a chance for the design-inclined to get some work out there and score an iPod or an Air. Of course, it's essentially on spec, which might get you some flak, but you're not competing for a job. You're competing for internet glory and a MacBook Air, so it's really just good clean fun(izzle).
Visit the contest homepage for more information. The contest is running now, so if you're interested you should scoot.

No 'spec' work! It requires designers to invest time and resources with no guarantee of winning. I love Snoop, but I love my trade even more. =\

go to any "community graphics" site and you'll find 1000 people making wallpapers from record covers and PR photos for anybody famous. Nobody would take this seriously as "design". This is for the Myspace kiddies, not you.

I have agree with mabhatter.
It would be totally different if Snoop Dogg posted a contest for a logo or website. But that's not what is happening here. He's giving his fans an opportunity to have a bit of fun creating Snoop Dogg wallpaper.
And wallpaper is given free on most sites, right?
Yes, he's getting free publicity in the bargain, but hey ...
Bottom line? Maybe we shouldn't be in too big of a hurry to throw the tired 'ole baby out with the bathwater?
