sorry liquid but i have a big problem with all these snowboard design contests..
you can't cry that designers should be paid what their worth (ahem, QBN) and then sponsor a contest like this. the prize "loot" for this particular case is a fraction of what people should be paid for snowboard graphics. these things are knocking the stdards way way back.
and btw some people are try to make a living designing snowboard product for a fair price.

why " 5 Monson Snowboards featuring winner's personal design
Monson Skateboard Decks"
whats a person gonna do with 5 snowboards? i think it should be cash price atleast $3000 U.S. you know how much monson will make of it...
- liquid0
5 winners.....
- HelloWorld0
it was better when monson paid $2000 and gave a snowboard with the winning print...

It's a contest horton...if you don't like the rules or winnings...then don't enter. There are plenty of designers eager to make a mark on the 'scene' - and this is good exposure...

maybe someone who doesn't design snowboards for a living can have some fun...
... and actually win.

(Feb 7 06, 19:21)i think they mean there will be 5 winning entries ? but i dunno.. it's not very clear.
either way your 2nd comment is on point.. I thought the Salomon prize was a dip at $1500 (i think it was?) but at least could justify as its a much bigger brand to flaunt your work.
"The winning designs from each contest will be printed and sold as high-end limited edition snowboards"... that will retail for how much?
other high-end "limited edition" snowboard graphics can bring in up to $5000.. which goes to show how much profit is being made.

(Feb 7 06, 19:27)BS.. I don't know how many times I've seen people here shit down some startup designers neck for charging $500 for a Flash site.
same deal.

if u wanna enter it go ahead but i honestly dont think the pay off is worth any good designers time ... plus i dont think names should be mentioned during vote untill contest is over and votes shouldnt start untill everything is submitted... to prevent copying and favorite-ism if a designers hates another one he might not vote for him just cause of that...
but anyway i dont think its worth it and i agree with horton contests like these are insults to designers...but your choice...
- tehgee0
i knew there would be bloodshed!
- ants0
I think the rules say that names will be supressed during voting? correct me if I'm wrong Liquid.
I think i'll have a go, I won't win, but I will have a go :) never done snowboards before.
- liquid0
Names won't be viewable on the leaderboard until the entry reaches maximum vote count or 7 days expire. (whichever is first)
I changed that sentence to explain it better. Hope it is clearer now.
- Top 5 Winners will receive a Monson Snowboard featuring their personal design

fucking jaded bunch of bastards you lot are
I know how much work Ken has put into this - his heart and fucking soul - he was up against a lot of hurdles and he jumped them all - to produce a fun contest for a sport he loves.
Why don't you both piss off to the jaded designers luncheon? I hear there's a workshop discussing the best way to shit on people's hard work...
- horton0
how is speaking up for fair pay for designers being jaded?
i'm not shitting on liquid's work.
- HelloWorld0
yeah i wasnt shitting on liquids efforts either i think contests are fine as long as "fair pay" is included and if a contest dosnt show the names of submitters and the designs dont get shown untill all submissions are submitted so no one can copy other designers time and thought......
