I have absolutely no interest in an internship with Wizards (as I have zero interest in moving to Renton, and any paid positions within the company would likely be well below my pay grade), but I do enjoy creating fun effects for cards, so I may just throw an entry out there for shiggles.

I love the GDS as a source of entertainment, but I hate it as a way of selecting interns. It seems both impractical and a tad unethical to choose employees based on an online pseudo-gameshow. This seems especially evident now, as they are transparently using it to build hype first and foremost. I wish that they would just make a tournament with a small cash prize, disentangling it from hiring and allowing it to occur more regularly.
I've signed up. That said, I'm gonna have to stop visiting the Custom Card Creation forum at least until June, since Wizards employees aren't allowed to look at unsolicited card designs or other fan-created content. And if I do get the internship, I may not be able to return to this website at all. In fact, I may not be able to visit it during the Trials and Challenges. So, I guess I'm just gonna be a lot scarcer around here in the near future.
But man, to have a chance at designing Magic professionally... Game design is my calling in life. I'm gonna give it my all!

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

Ditto (the bolded), but I can look at my archive of my own stuff though! However, if they do GDS3 similar to GDS2, we might get a hub/wiki that's sanctioned for participants to collaborate and inspire which was authorized fan content.
I am so excite I do not know how to say proper. Gonna have to try and get the 26th off if that's test day though. O.O
WotC needs new blood, o it's good to be back. Sadly, I think MaRo wants more robots than creative types.
Two years ago I would have entered, but I have a solid job in my hometown now, and with additional roots tying me home, so I don't want to compete and take away someone else's spot who could win.

Sad this is only for U.S. employees, but maybe we get another diamond in the rough out there.
Good luck to the entrants.

The thing is that if you read through the legalese, WotC has no obligations with the contest and can do whatever they like. If they get halfway through and decide to drop the contest and outright hire some of the entrants they like, they can do that. If they don't want to hire anyone, they don't have to. They can let the contest go to its full conclusion, let some popular entrant with the fans win despite not being a good candidate as an employee, and still hire other people who "lost".
But regardless of any possible outcomes as it pertains to employment, WotC gets to use any and all ideas that are legally submitted. If your idea gets used on a real card in the future, there's a record of it being your idea, which can have real value for a lot of people.
