Design Challenge

Welcome

The Mozilla Labs Design Challenge is a series of events to encourage innovation, and experimentation in user interface design for the Web. Our aim is to provoke thought, facilitate discussion, and inspire future design directions for Firefox, the Mozilla project, and the Web as a whole. [more]


For this Design Challenge we focus on finding creative solutions to the question: "What are the interesting uses of having a complete list of all your contacts and relationships in your browser, for both local browser applications and services on the web?"

Out of the submitted concepts a panel of UX experts and the Mozilla Labs team selected four "Best in Class" honors. We also invited the wider community to vote for their personal favorites and bestow the "People's Choice" award.

"Best in Class" honors were bestowed in the following categories:
