OpenOffice.org Design Contest

lisah writes, "OpenOffice.org, along with co-sponsor WorldLabel.com, will give away more then $5,000 in cash and prizes to the winners of a template and clip-art design contest scheduled to run until October 13, 2006. Organizers are looking for original designs that are useful to multiple users but, in terms of creativity, they say the sky's the limit. Submissions can range from budgeting spreadsheets and personal finance templates to funky graphics and presentation templates, but must run on one of the suite's four main applications: Writer, Calc, Draw, or Impress."

It's open source and free and all that sugar that makes some people erect. However they are paying you $5000 to do it. Why not make the product semi-commercial and actually come up with a competitor for MS Office, instead of relying on hobbyists.
