First of all, I want to tell you that your design is on TOP 3 list of those designs submited out there (maybe on 1st place or second but shure not the 3rd :D).
Tough it's ok, I might have some suggestions like:
Try to use a slight different font on header (menu) and on footer. After that you should increase by +1 the font's size.
2. Try to use a different type of Icons. Let's say you should try a more web 2.0 approach (like this icon here: http://babasse.deviantart.com/art/iMod-for-Dock-102546179) or at least try to use the same type of icon design for them all (like: http://www.freshpixel.fr/downloads/img/travel-voyage-icones-pictos-a-telecharger.jpg ). Or if you want to go on the retro set: try this: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/06/18/freebie-release-quartz-icon-set/
3. For the Twitter logo, try to use some of this ones: http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/images/birdies/preview.jpg (the icon with the birdie with the plank on what's writed Follow me I think it's the best).
4. Now, let's take apart the main business: the MENU. If you want to use a simple approach, a two-colored menu, have a look at the menu from this web site: http://www.toggle.uk.com/
If you want to use icons on the menu, this is the right approach that I recommend you to do: http://www.missionbicycle.com/
I wish you good luck with the contest,
