Battlestar Galactica fans take note: are you a web designer? Got some mad html skills? Well, put them to good use! Bear McCreay, the genius music composer behind Battlestar Galactica and Caprica, is holding a contest for a designer for his new website devoted to his Battlestar Galactica Orchestra.

From Bear McCreay’s Blog

The BSG Orchestra needs a site that can provide media from previous concerts, information on upcoming shows, updates on potential international performances in 2010, a forum for fans, and details on the possible LIVE CONCERT DVD AND ALBUM in the works for release later this year (shhhhhhhh! More about that soon!).

Designers will be given a collection of approved images and a basic site-map concept, but I’m looking for a creative and attractive layout. The deadline for submitting your designs is 11:59pm PT, Wednesday July 1st. A winner and two runners-up will be announced by Friday July 3.

The contest winner will recieve:

• 2 VIP Passes to The Music Of Battlestar Galactica Concert at the House of Blues, Thursday, July 23rd in San Diego. (Includes open bar, exclusive autograph signing, VIP seats, but does not include travel expenses.)
• Exclusive behind-the-scenes access to Sound Check on the day of the show
• McCreay’s personal baton and signed set list used in the concert
• A signed Battlestar Galactica: Season 4 2-CD soundtrack
• Battlestar Galactica Orchestra poster signed by the band
• An ‘About the Web Designer’ feature page on the site

Two runners-up will each be awarded:

• A signed Battlestar Galactica: Season 4 2-CD soundtrack
• Battlestar Galactica Orchestra poster signed by the band
• Their work featured on Bear McCreay’s Blog

The deadline for the design is Wednesday, July 1, 2009 @ 11:59 pm PST. There’s not a lot of time left! Hurry and get your entry in!
