I reckon we should write a script to grab the RSS feed, and then just dump out a bunch of templates using photoshop scripting - like the "create your own web2.0 logo" style. Just have it run on it's own, output files, and automatically submit them to the contest site. We can just sit back and wait for the cash to start rolling in!

I think the only people who should enter such events should be hobbyists. Then the winner would be stoked to receive anything, and the company would receive the type of artwork that the low fee deserves. Maybe we need a worldwide union to protect the industry?
