LA born and now Sydney / Melbourne based t-shirt brand Mofo is launching the Mofo Dollars web page design competition to help in the evolution of the brand and assist in the re-launch of Mofobrand.com, a fully functional e-commerce site that will bring Mofo apparel to customers around the world. They've done their part, expanding their operation to over 40 stockists around Australia and now reaching even further to all corners of the globe including Japan, Europe, and the US. Now they're searching for kick-ass web designers to help create an image for the new site that portrays the Mofo look and lifestyle – think Pam Grier, Grand Master Flash, Cadillac's, pimps, hookers, and Blaxploitation movies. To boot they are offering a cash prize of $1000 US dollars to the best design, that's definitely some prime spendin' money! They've got an idea and you have the talent and motivation thanks to that prize money, so check out the contest details at their blog and get to work!

A Taste of Slow, arguably Australia's most fabulous food festival, will be held in Victoria this year from 30 August – 11 September and includes a two-week program of classes, dinners, discussions and tasting opportunities, culminating in experts and chefs and the chance to engage in “produce, pleasure and provocation.” For a little Slow Food 411, if you haven't already heard, just envision the nemesis of fast food. This 1986 Italian movement was cooked up in response to the negative impact of multinational food industries and is about using local seasonal produce, restoring time-honoured methods of production and preparation, encouraging ethical treatment of animals and promoting environmentally sustainable methods. They now have 80,000 member restaurants in more than 100 countries (some very surprising ones too.) To celebrate the sensation of taste, and contribute by linking your plate to our planet, check the schedule for Slow Food's multiple soirees. Double dipping allowed.
