it's cool if you're part of the group that enjoys showing off to one another for personal satisfaction, but your clients won't give a shit.

seems like fun to me. not so much about impressing clients as about encouraging each other to get a new site out...
no more "coming soon" .... or "temp site"

It's not at all about being cool bro...
It's a unified creative movement to provoke change and fresh ideas. If that sounds like something you would like to participate in then sign up and take part.
For all of you hating on it... tear it up if you wish but the people behind the reboot have nothing but good intentions...

i think its rad as an idea but everyone takes themselves so seriously with it. It would be more interesting if it had a theme other than heres my portfolio hire me... maybe something that solved a problem beyond that of personal marketing.

what matters is your visibility near the clients, not near other designers and the who compete and check that contest.. if you eventually end up winning, the only thing you'll get (besides the prize) are some emails saying Cool from noob designers..
if you want to explain your clients your site won a prize, that's ok.. we all can go to coolestwebdesign.com and get listed there.. - it's all the same to your client...
or.. unless you are a student all you got all time in your hands before May..
personally i think it's uselesss. the best you can get is some recognition and a thousand hits to waste your bandwidth...
/And I agree with DutchBouyo with the philosophycal theories..

it's cool if you want to market yourself in the worst possible way.
why would you want all your hard work to go unnoticed in a sea of other people launching?
the best way to stand out in a crowd is to not be in a crowd.
