USAHockey.com's contest to design the helmets Team USA's goalies will wear in the 2005 World Junior Championships.
Details, contest rules, and a PDF template are online. The contest only runs through the 15th of November, so hurry!
According to the rules, "designs should reflect the themes of the United States," whatever that means. Should kids draw the separation of powers? Something that shows power bestowed on government by consent of the governed, rather than by divine right? What if a kid just wants to draw a really bad-ass-looking eagle?
Were it not for the age limit, I'd submit this entry:
Too bad for me (and for Team USA), I'm old enough to be three entrants in the upper age bracket and one in the lower one. If, like me, you're disqualified from official competition, feel free to post your design on the message board.
