Take A Look at this site: Here today, gone tomorrow

I can only keep this up for a few days. Please don't share this information with others.

I wanted to share this with you from one designer to another. I am currently serving as an invited judge for the 2010 BDA/Promax competition which I think is always a great honor. It reinforces my belief that the BDA/Promax organization continues to be in the forefront of all the other design organizations as it focuses itself on celebrating not only the on-air product we get to see but the achievements of grahic designers, producers, editors, writers and the like. This is the North American promotional and marketing area of the judging competition. This is one of the 200+ entries that demonstrates how MTV allows it's creative employees to submit and enter their work on a site they set up for them. It showcases how they work and think.
This is only up for a few days so take a look. I gave it a big thumbs up for embracing their company designers, editors, writers,etc.
Many of the entries are video based design promos but there is also a large number of website designs as well that are key to the success of many of the network shows. A few are below:

Below is their creative brief for their entry:
"As a company full of innovative thinkers and doers, MTV Networks wanted to give its employees a creative outlet to display their talents, inspire creativity and promote the diverse, innovative culture of the company. Our solution: a site aimed at all U.S.-based employees of the company — both those who work in creative departments as well as those in more corporate divisions — that is a digital playground where employees upload their personal videos, writing, photographs, artwork, music and more. The site captures the attention and imagination of this busy, Web-savvy audience and stands out as a grassroots, un-corporate-like resource, and was created on a shoestring budget with a small core team. The result is a site with a unique, offbeat vibe that conveys a distinctly MTV Networks attitude. It has generated buzz around the company and resulted in more than 200 uploads and over 3,000 project views in just three months since its launch."
