Erik writes in about a new design contest.

The Wikinews citizen journalism project (by the people who created the Wikipedia encyclopedia) is holding a design contest for its multilingual portal and website stylesheets. The contest will run over two months. In true wiki-fashion, everyone can contribute prizes to the contest. If you'd like your work to be used in a project that might become as big as Wikipedia, this could be a good opportunity.

For those unaware of what wiki is - quick rough translation = everyone can add and edit. The Wikipedia is probably the most successful implementation of a Wiki because so many folks are involved in keeping it up to date, despite being open to the fancy of naredowells, it's "self-healing" rate is legendary.

Interesting thing to note about this contest, is it's Wikiness - you can test out your design entry on the actual content. Those not feeling inspired, or those too busy to write a blog post (hi!) can contribute a prize offering to up the stakes.
