Normally, I reserve some Fridays for an occasional book review, but my work schedule has really cut into my reading time. Instead I'm presenting a literary opportunity to you to work with Russell Simmons (not related, I think — and he's not returning my calls).

The hip hop mogul and major entrepreneur has written an new book, Rich Inside And Out, and he's looking for someone to design the cover. He provides text you must include and photographs you can use on the cover:



(Hmm, anyone see any resemblance?)

The winner receives $5,000 and $5,000 for the charity of your choice. In the past, I've debated if design contests are worth anyone's time, but you have to admit this beats the three-figure cash prizes in those logo contests. Anyway, you can get the full details on Global Grind .

I pulled this from the rules:

Contests are open only to legal U.S. residents, 13 or over, except employees of Rush Communications and GG Digital, entities supplying contest prizes and the families of those employees, as well as any employees of additional sponsors (if any) and the families of those employees.

I don't know if that makes me ineligible. Russell, call me. Let's compare family trees.
