BBC and Slashdot Redesign Contests

If you’ve got some spare time, why not enter the contests to redesign the bbc.co.uk homepage or Slashdot? The Slashdot one is unfortunately much more restrictive, but part of me thinks this whole thing is ridiculous… “paying” someone with a nice laptop and some exposure to redesign a massive corporate site that should cost tens of thousands of dollars. Then again, if one doesn’t like the terms, then simply don’t bother, I suppose.
