I agree with Mike
While decently conversant with XHTML/CSS and learning more constantly, I don't call myself a graphics designer. So until I gain a lot more experience and skill, submitting a template for the WSG is as unlikely as my designs joining the CSS Zen Garden.
Why not use the submitted designs as alternative stylesheets to the WSG site?

*****************************************************Well I for one thought it was a worthwhile project, and a good thing to try.
I didn't submit a design because I don't put myself in the same class as
many of the others on this list. I wouldn't want to have my design work
judged alongside professional designers. Now if you're talking about code
and functionality and stuff, well my professional reputation will put me in
the running I reckon, but not design skills. I'm here on this list as a
learner, and I'm learning as fast as I can.
But able to contribute a classy design as the showcase of this group? Not me. Couldn't do it. And specially not using the CSS/Accessibility techniques we're all learning.
I'd venture to suggest there were quite a few of the members of this list who were in the same category as me. The impression I have is that there aren't all that many of the 600 list members who'd say they were fully conversant with all the techniques advocated by this group.
Don't regard the response as lack of interest. Call it lack of expertise on the part of the list members with techniques that while familiar to you, are new and revolutionary to most of the web development world.
