w00t!media and b3ta have teamed up with The British Design Council to run a competition promoting the need to "Keep British Design Alive."

Users were encouraged to "Pimp My British Design" by sending in updated versions of classic British designs.

The competition saw over 250 'pimped' designs officially entered and generated over 8,500 visits to the Design Council's online questionnaire.

Take a look at the entries and tell the Design Council how to Keep British Design Alive
