It means what Brandon decides are the 3 best articles written by you guys (and us mods too)

So if you had the what we thought was the best article, you'd get the 500 points

Should the article be only related to "Community success stories"

Can it be some Programming article, say a nice tutorial for building up some kind of system/application ??

**ArnyVee** · 07-01-2008, 01:43 PM

Hmm....gotta slowly put this award-winning article together. Plus, in the meantime, I'll be peppering the forums with activity.

It's great that you do these contests Brandon. Very nicely done.

We're trying to focus this on Success Stories, but if programming is a huge part of your success I'm sure you could fit it in there somewhere:muscle:

That does give us a nice idea for another article contest at a later date though.
