With all of the creativity and awesome designs floating around the ICM program, maybe you should think about submitting your best design to the Webby Awards. This year's deadline is in December and categories for entries include website/mobile, interactive design and online film and video. There is a special category designed specifically for works by students "who have designed web sites for academic purposes or as part of developing a portfolio."The site explains it all and if you win, then look at all of the many reasons it can boost your career! With this years crazy moments primarily focused on the elections, I bet there will be a lot of entries focused on that. I wish the main site would display the works of past winners so that groups or individuals who are new to the entry process can see what they have to follow or don't replicate something that has been submitted in the past. If you google for past winners you'll see some notable achievements:
Breakout of the Year: MySpace.com
Entrepreneur of the Year: Mark Cuban (BlogMaverick.com)
Lifetime Achievement Award: Robert Kahn (inventor of TCP/IP protocol)
Best Copy/Writing: NewYorker.com
Best Navigation: Flickr.com
Best Visual Design: Google Earth
People’s Choice for Best Blog Culture/Personal: CuteOverload.com

Don't be fooled by the amusement in saying the word "Webby" -- Webby Awards are super-prestigious! Please let me know if any of you are going for it. I will need some years of design experience and a jolt of innovation before I apply for this.
