Applicants must submit their one best page as their Contest entry, no later than midnight Eastern time, June 30, 2007.  Submission links will be taken on the [[Talk:Centiare_Prize_2007|Discussion page of this article]].  Only one submission per person is allowed.  Judges will score all entries over the next several days, and the winners will be announced on July 4, 2007.  We shall declare the "independence" of the world's best wiki editors from the "free labor" tyranny they have likely found elsewhere to date.

Applicants must submit their '''''intention''''' to participate before June 23, 2007 -- because the judges will need some advance idea of how many entries they will be reviewing.  Applicants must then submit their one best page as their Contest entry, no later than midnight Eastern time, June 30, 2007.  Intention and submission links will be taken on the [[Talk:Centiare_Prize_2007|Discussion page of this article]].  Only one submission per person is allowed.  Judges will score all entries between July 1 and July 3, and the winners will be announced on July 4, 2007.  We shall declare the "independence" of the world's best wiki editors from the "free labor" tyranny they have likely found elsewhere to date.

This contest will be promoted with a "soft" launch and word-of-mouth advertising, up until May 15th.  After that point, Centiare will be blitzing the Internet with promotional advertising, blog links, press releases, etc.  Corporate sponsors who would like to donate additional money to our prize pool (in $25 increments) may do so prior to May 15th.  All corporate sponsors will then receive prominent mention in our full-scale advertising efforts between May 16th and June 30th.  Corporate donations will be distributed uniformly across all prize levels (that is, if $225 in corporate sponsorships are received, First Prize will increase to $275; Second Prize to $125; and there would be five Honorable Mentions of $25 each).

The judging will be executed by [[Directory:Karl D. Nagel|Karl Nagel]], [[Directory:Gregory J. Kohs|Gregory Kohs]], [[Directory:Garrett Minks|Garrett Minks]], [[User:OmniMediaGroup|Karen Kohs]], and [[Directory:Lion Graphics|Cheryl Levy]].  Their voting will be by secret ballot.  Disqualifications will be determined by a majority vote of the judging panel (3 out of 5).  The decisions of the judges are final. Deadlock ties will be broken by Karl Nagel.

Some of the current Centiare pages that we find interesting and well-designed include:

:'''>''' [[Directory:Liz Cohen|Performance artist '''Liz Cohen''']]
 +
:'''>''' [[Directory:Foundation Strategies Inc.|Employee benefits broker '''Foundation Strategies''']]
 +
:'''>''' [[Directory:LunaGraphica|Advertising and design firm '''LunaGraphica''']]
 +
:'''>''' [[Directory:Punzhu Puzzles|Ted Summerfield's publishing company '''Punzhu Puzzles]]
 +
:'''>''' [[Directory:BIG Images|Printing and graphics company '''BIG Images''']]'''

While these are really nice, we absolutely know that ''you can do even better''!
