Pixish Visual Assignments for Creative People

We've been compiling an ever-growing list of needed improvements to the site based on your feedback, but we haven't been able to implement very many of them. So we're asking for help. If you're a Ruby on Rails programmer, or know someone who is, and you'd like to help develop tools for a creative community, please get in touch.

Hey artists! Looking for a fun project? Check out these fun new assignments from Moo, The Sound of Young America, and musician Andrew Combs.

• The people at Moo love to print. If you've ever seen their work, you know they make beautiful cards and stickers. They're holding an assignment to find artwork for a special stickerbook. 90 artists will win a year of Flickr Pro. Check it out in MOO's Sticker Competition.
• Jesse Thorn, aka America's Radio Sweetheart, is the host of MaximumFun.org's The Sound of Young America, a radio show about things that are awesome. He posted an assignment looking for artwork for their t-shirt, which will be used in their next pledge drive. 1-5 artists will win prizes worth $100 and Jesse Thorn's voice on your answering machine. Check it out in The Shirt of Young America.
• Andrew Combs is a singer-songwriter from Texas, and he's looking for some beautiful artwork for the cover of his next CD. He loves the Holga, so you plastic lens people get crackin'! The winner will get $50. Check it out in Andrew Combs CD Artwork.

And member Luke Walding needed imagery for his project to support Multiple Sclerosis research by selling a digital download of his band's song. Member Andy Jackson won the contest with his haunting photo.
