42) The design competition will proceed in two phases: first sketches and then
43) working code. You are invited to submit to either phase, or both phases.
44) For each phase, our panel of judges will recognize the
45) best submissions.

49) All qualifying entries will receive an <a
50) href="http://tor.eff.org/tshirt.html">EFF Tor T-shirt</a>

51) (subject to availability). The best sketches and working implementations
52) will be published on the Tor website.
53) </p>
54) 
55) <p><b>Sketches:</b>
56) the goal of this phase is to produce a mock-up of a functioning interface.
57) This should include design documents describing how the interface should
58) function. If you want, it should also include graphical elements that
59) can be used by programmers.
60) </p>
61) 
62) <p>
63) A qualifying sketch will present an informal specification for a
64) design. That is, it will present with some degree of thoroughness all
65) of the major interfaces that we might expect to encounter, all of the
66) major functionality for the interface, and a reasonable story about
67) how it would be integrated into currently-existing tools (if, indeed,
68) it would be). One example, with more detail than we would require, is
69) <a href="http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/ui/junits/promo_f.html">the NetBeans
70) UI for JUnit</a>. Note that it walks through multiple interfaces,
71) highlighting the features and functions of the various buttons.
72) </p>
73) 
74) <ul>
75) <li><b>Most featureful interface</b> will be awarded to the graphic design
76) that would provide usable, clear access to the most aspects of the Tor
77) system, covering many or most of the categories on the "useful features"
78) list.</li>
79) <li><b>Most usable experience</b> will be awarded to the graphic
80) design that would provide the most unobtrusive Tor experience while still
81) covering all criteria (working, perhaps, on the "no news is good news"
82) theory).</li>
83) <li><b>Clearest implementation guidance</b> will be awarded to the
84) graphic design that provides the cleanest package of graphic elements
85) and design documentation to aid would-be implementers.</li>
86) </ul>
87) 
88) <p><b>Code:</b> the goal of this phase is to produce a working
89) implementation. You may use any of the sketches, graphics, or ideas from

90) the <a
91) href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/ContestEntries">first
92) phase</a> (with appropriate credit to their authors), or you can make
93) your own. See the <a
