Tutorial-Index Layout Contest

Yes, it's that time again! Time to redo our (Tutorial-Index.com) layout and give you something more sleek, and beautiful. Better yet, you get to choose it(!) but, you we do have a couple of preferences of our own that you need to keep in mind.

Preferences for making a layout:
1.The layout must be 2-3 columns.
2.We don't want anything too colorful but we would like colors that stand out and are effective. Also, if you can, please limit the colors to the kind we have on the site.
3.Make sure that when you create the layout, keep in mind that we use quite a bit of content, but at the same time, know that we do not want too much content in the layout.
4.There must be a spot for a 468X60 near the top of the layout.
5.A Layout that can fill up most, if not all of a page. 98% preferably
6.When making a layout, remember that the winner will have to provide the Photoshop Document (.PSD), so save the file as a PSD also.

Prize:
$200(USD) Via Paypal + 6 Months AdBanner Advertising On Tutorial-Index.com ($100 Value!)
TOTAL = $300

And what reasons would they be? Can you specify why you would cancel a competition, last time I saw someone put something like that they had no intentions of ever paying anyone no matter what was submitted I'd be very skeptical of this competition with that clause.

I like the sound of the contest but I sorta agree with Donna. I don't want to put the effort in for nothing.

if only like 3 entries are received, and they're all crap, then we might move the contest or cancel it for another date.

Seeing as how your site is ungodly slow, I'm gonna post my entry here first, then on your site. Expect to pay the consequences if you intend to rip the winner and it happens to be me.
