Please welcome the first International Openfree Bioinformation Contents Competition! If you would like to create a new web 2.0 based site or wiki to serve biology or medicine, then register here. The result is due to be announced on the 6th of June. But first, read the official announcement:
User-driven web authoring processes (such as Web 2.0, UCC, and wiki) have achieved significant improvements on the process of collecting and distributing a variety of information on the internet.
In order to adopt the new paradigm of web contents authoring and exchange towards collaborative development of biological knowledge base, we thus hold the first International Openfree Bioinformation Contents Competition.
And the prizes? I thought you’re going to be interested. 
– 1st runner : Free-knowledge award: $500 USD
- 2nd runner : Open-sharing award: $200 USD
- 3rd runner : Truthful-work award: $100 USD
