Oh noes, it's yet another design contest - but before we get all NO!SPEC on their ass, this is a contest with a difference.
CSS Off has at its core a very simple premise: In 12 hours, take a PSD file and turn it into a valid, semantic, standards-based HTML/CSS document - the winning entry receives a massive 30 bucks (or 50 if you donate the prize to charity). But if it's not about the money, why bother wasting your valuable time? Well, how about the same reason there are Refresh groups springing up all over the place, grassroots conferences happening on a regular basis, and the trillions of blogs filled with advice and tutorials? Our community, like no other I know, is built on altruism - so if you think your code has the potential to educate and inform your global colleagues, why not show the world what you can do come June 1st?

Thanks for the write-up. You phrased it better than we could. JD and I hesitated with offering any kind of monetary prize at all - partly because we're poor, partly to keep our submissions to the few that really care, and partly to not send the wrong message of what's this is about. But in the end we thought, well, we can pony up at least $30. And I should mention, we're extending the contest it to 24 hours.
