    Yahoo Think Big Contest. Win 10 MILLION. Who's entering?

    Yahoo Think Big Contest. Who's entering?

    Win 10 million free "ads" across the Yahoo! network...

    Virgin Group founder Richard Branson and Yahoo unveiled a contest for small-business owners on Thursday, offering 10 million free ads on the Yahoo network to the winning entrepreneur who "thinks big."

    The Think Big contest will run from April 28 through May 20 and is open to U.S.-based entrepreneurs with fewer than 99 employees that operate a Web site featuring content related to their business, Yahoo said. Entrepreneurs in the adult entertainment, gambling or travel-related businesses, however, are not permitted to enter.

    ...

    Entrepreneurs who enter the Think Big contest will have their business plan evaluated in a three-round process. The entries will be judged on the novelty of the business and its ability to attract a national audience; the design and navigability of the Web site, as well as its ability to generate and convert traffic into customers; and an essay that offers a compelling business plan that also demonstrates the entrepreneur's knowledge of business fundamentals.

    Would be better if they gave away $10,000,000 in funding but the prize & exposure is still incredible.

    I know many of you run mainstream sites as well... anyone here considering entering the contest? I am entering, anyone else?

    That's asshame for them for excluding adult webmasters. We all know most of the big ideas and cutting edge technology comes from this industry. Also, you wont find more successful entrepreneurs in any other field. Got a feeling their " think big" isn't going to be too big.

          perhaps. plus they'll be biased against any venture that competes with them in any market they (Yahoo or Virgin) are in. but still worth the time to enter the contest... if not to win, but for a chance to get on Yahoo's radar. someone could submit the next FLICKR and be acquired... much better prize than the ads.
