If the Web page competitive entries are to reflect the body of work of the
Partnership, some general criteria would need to be followed:
1. The Web page must leak content continually
2. The code (as in infrastructure, like plumbing and wiring) should be
highlighted, with the content residing behind or beneath it.
3. It should be user unfriendly
4. It should borrow, without acknowledgment, from other Web pages
5. The Web page 'style' must appear aggressive yet curiously outdated the
moment it goes online.
This is indeed a challenge.

Fascinating strategy by Richard Rogers Partnership in offering prizes for
the design of their website. The competition description on the site claims
"Up to 20 shortlisted entrants will be asked to develop their designs
further."
Essentially, RRP gets 20 professionally-developed concepts and in-depth
ideas for their site done to some level of completion for the grand (prize)
total of 21,500 pounds sterling. Major corporations often invest easily ten
times that amount for a bleeding-edge site.
Very slick.
