The Smiths competition

Okay, not the seminal group of the 1980s, but Mr & Mrs Smith, the classy hotel guide company.

As part of major plans to up its online presence - including flight search with Kayak - it is running a competition for all you budding, amateur web designers out there.

In fact, it is looking for someone to redesign its Wordpress-based blog.

Rather than just go and pay for one like everyone does, we thought we’d give all you seriously talented, but as yet undiscovered Wordpress theme designers the chance to really get your design noticed.

Cheeky, but fair enough.

There's a typically classy prize on offer for the winner: a weekend for two at one of the high-end hotels it features on the site. Given that the company has properties around the world, this is rather a nice prize.

Remember: you're working from a low base...


...but these guys like - and have - STYLE.

Rules and entry details here.
