Salomon Board Design Contest

For the second year in a row Salomon is running a board design contest. It's pretty simple– just download the template, insert your design and send it to Salomon. The first prize is 2000 Euros and Salomon may even put the design in to production. This is last year's third place winner, David Lamothe. via F.E.D.
