 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are looking for SYSOP's to help run a contest for the best idea for a
new product, service, or feature that can be implemented on a BBS.  The
Grand Prize will be a new Pentium system for the winner.  In exchange for
your helping us run this contest we will give all SYSOP's a free entry if
ten (10) or more of their users enter.

There is a $20 entry fee for the contest itself and all the money will be
held in an escrow account that can be verified.  The Sponsors of the
contest are Chris Ochs and Steve Martino from The Entrepreneur's Edge in
Citrus Heights, CA.  If you would like more information please File Request
(FREQ) the magic name "CONTEST" from The Entrepreneur's Edge at 70:1/49 or
Fido at 1:203/2145 or BIZYnet BBS at 70:1/0 or 1:202/1008.

We will be happy to answer any questions after you have downloaded or file
requested the information file (CONTEST1.ZIP).  We've prepared everything
carefully to ensure everything regarding this contest is handled according
to the laws governing contests and most of your questions are already
covered in the file.

We are looking for about 100 sysops to help us run this.  Those who help on
this first contest will get first chance to work with any future contests.

Sincerely,
Chris Ochs & Steve Martino
