Before you look at me like I’ve lost my mind – I haven’t. The competition is being hosted by Websites.com and they’re giving away $10k to the winner. To win this award you need to submit your small business website.

All you have to do is get a website design that kicks ass. The website can be hosted anywhere but you will have to become a member of websites.com to enter the contest which will take you 5 minutes tops. What’s more, websites.com is even giving you a chance to pair up with a web designer of your choice.

If you’re not sure which web designer to go for, they have their own directory of web designers that you can choose from.

Please note that you will have to pay the web designer their fee regardless of whether you win or not. Remember, its not the web designers who’re entering the contest, it’s you. So the designer needs to be paid. Think of it this way, there will no sharing required of the $10k if you win

The deadline to enter is July 29th. You just need to enter the competition to let them know you’re a contestant. The date for submitting the actual website design is in September which gives you more than a month to come up with a kick-ass website design. After the initial judging, the nominees will be put up for public voting and the winner will be announced on October 2nd 2009.

It’s a great competition to boost your business and get you moving in case you’ve been dragging your feet about designing your small business website.
