An Alternative to Design Contests

Anthony Zinni of Positive Space Blog has created a site, Creative Interships, that serves as an alternative to the design contests and the no-spec work they represent. Basically it's a way for students and new "creatives" to get their foot in the door without having to resort to spec work.

The design is appealing also. Check out how the navigation copy creates a diagonal that mirrors the site's background graphics, very cool.
