How we Pick winners:
We will pick our three Favorite Visitor added "Must Sees" every 3 months based on how interesting the Story and the Picture are. We will also consider the comments and ratings each "My Favorite" story has received here. The contest starts over at the end of the next Quarter Period. (More on what all 3 Winners receive below.)
The Rules:
To be considered for this Contest, a "My Favorite" or "Must See" Story must have a relevant Picture with a caption, have 17 or more lines of "Review" text on the page when viewed at "normal" size in Internet Explorer and have at least one Site Viewer Comments of 5 lines or more.
The Review Stories must be original here, and not duplicated on any other Site.
