The March 2009 design spotlight contest is now accepting entries. This month, we’ll go back to the classic website design award. You may nominate any website, your own or another designer’s. Multiple nominations are welcome. Repeat nominations from past contests are allowed, but a winning entry may not be nominated again unless the site has been completely redesigned. Entries will be reviewed for validity and approved for voting. Depending on the number of submissions, some entries may be eliminated and a group of finalists chosen for the voting phase.

I nominate BreastCancerStories.
Is that allowed?
Yeah, it’s totally allowed, thanks!
Nom nom nom. Burritos. I like tacos y burritos.
Nom nom…I agree completely.
Submit a website for this contest, yo.
Oh I get it, you want to nominate this?

Hm…since you didn’t confirm this & since it’s not really a website, I think I’ll run a special design spotlight for flash games, next month. That should be pretty fun
It’s nice to see how you’re design spotlight has evolved into a regular feature.
As long as we’re allowed to submit our own, I’ll submit http://www.heidicool.com which I just launched last month. It’s my new portfolio site, and I also moved my blog there from it’s previous location. The look is not “design-heavy” but I tried to make it user-friendly and very easy to navigate, so I look forward to any feedback. And oddly enough it also features cartoons, which you were writing about last month. I’ve been using these in presentations (made on bitstrip.com) and decided they’d be useful here too.
Designer/writer/coder, etc. – Heidi Cool, @hacool. Thanks!
Ha! I love the tagline “Cool’s not just an attitude, it’s my name.” The character is cute and I like the color scheme too.
i nominate http://shanghailectures.org/
the cool color scheme contrasts the hot climate of Shanghai nicely – and the hot topic, too
I left nominations open a little bit longer, but it looks like we’ve only got 3 entries this month. I’ll set up the voting right now
