About: Pretty legit competition, judging is strange though. But, good prizes to be won if you manage to get selected.
Deadline: 1.29.2010 (soon!)

So, I have a bone to pick this year. This may sound arrogant, but I didn't get a finalist selected last year (won a major prize in 2008, though) and it frustrated me. This year, I meticulously followed submission requirements and submitted some of my absolute best work. We will see.

My entries:


I know a few of you other SEers have some stuff worthy of this deal. There's a variety of different categories too:
