- Numbers 2 & 3 both get $100 and a "recommended" status in the design category of the site
- I pick the designs eligible to win
- A poll on GFY decides the winner out of those
Would you designers participate in something like that?

Probably not for me, because of a few reasons:
1. And entire site is quite a bit of work. Too much risk of not being paid.
2. These kinds of polls in the past have shown that alot of GFYers just don't seem to be too great at picking winners in things like this.
To modify the contest, I think you should drop the poll idea and have a contest to design a header for the resouce site including logo and top buttons. The winner would get maybe $200 with $50 each for the two runners up and then first place winner would get the job to design the entire site for an additional $500 or so.
Just some ideas.
