I'm thrilled to announce the launch of the first-ever macosxhints.com contest: The Mac OS X Hints Best Hint Contest. This is a little contest designed to reward our hint contributors throughout the summer. So without further ado, here are the basics of the Best Hints Contest:

As you might expect, there are rules that go with running a contest such as this one, and we want to make sure everyone reads the official rules prior to submitting a hint. In particular, I wanted to point out that you must include an email address to be eligible (if you're submitting a hint as an anonymous user). If you're a registered user, make sure you've provided a valid email address in your profile, as that's the only way we'll be able to get in touch with you. We've also done our best to make sure that anyone can enter -- there are no restrictions based on geography.

It's also important to note that entries must be submitted via the standard macosxhints.com submissions page, not via an email to me (or any other method). There will be a reminder about the contest (and the need to include your email address), as well as a link to the rules, directly on the submissions page.

So if you've got a hint in mind, and you've just been waiting for a good excuse to type it up, now you have one -- we'll be giving away nine iPods and Macworld subscriptions over the next three months, and you could be one of the winners! Finally, I'd like to thank Macworld for making this giveaway possible; the opportunity to do things such as this as a way to thank the members of the community is one of the things I was looking forward to when I chose to join them just over a year ago.

If you have any questions, please feel free to post them here and I'll do my best to post replies.
