Well.. you forgot about “Worldwide recognition for designing the official Firefox 3 T-Shirt featured in the Mozilla Store” that’s a big part of the price really

I wish the prize was something like.. “Get your OWN custom extension for ff!” hehe, now THAT would be a cool price.

Deadline is march 16th! so there’s plenty of time.

Mozilla Inc gets $50 million+ in Benjamins a year from Google and they still resort to spec work for T-shirts?

I’m all for open source and socially driven innovation(tm), but this just smacks of unfair labor practice.

As a product the T-shirt may get >1 million views a month. A mere 1% conversion rate could land a whopping $100,000 in revenue. How about stepping the compensation up to to something more appropriate like a couple of new MacBook Pros?

In all honesty, a corporate structure that still rides on the coattails of free (as in movement) labor is just plain goop.

$250 amazon gift certificate and a tshirt? Thats not much of an incentive.
