A look at how some other competitions have been run.
"What if you were the publisher?
Demonstrate your best ideas for how scientific research articles should be presented on the web and compete to win great prizes!
Elsevier Labs invited creative individuals who wanted the opportunity to view and work with journal article content on the web to enter the Elsevier Article 2.0 Contest. Each contestant was provided online access to approximately 7,500 full-text XML articles from Elsevier journals, including the associated images, and the Elsevier Article 2.0 API to develop a unique yet useful web-based journal article rendering application."
Length of competition: September 1 to December 31, 2008.
- all competitions must have a clear editorial purpose.
- all competitions must require a genuine test of knowledge, judgement or skill appropriate to the target audience.
- all competitions with prizes must have competition rules to make sure they are run properly, fairly and openly.
- the rules should ensure that the competition is held under English law. This is particularly important when holding a competition on the Internet.
- how to play the competition must be clear. Confusion causes complaints.
