Win One of Five Free iPhones With Profy This Summer

iPhone is big even though it has not been released yet. But it will be released soon (June, 29 in case you have not heard this date yet) and I guess it will be even bigger when it is actually available. Besides, iPhone is the most Web 2.0-ish gadget we have heard of recently. Profy is always willing to give our readers the best of Web 2.0. And here is our next move in this direction. This summer you will have a chance to get your very own iPhone absolutely for free (4 Gb memory model normally priced at $499).

How? It really is absolutely simple and I do hope many of our loyal readers will enter our competition and try to win one of five iPhones Profy will give away. Why such a generosity? Because we really believe that passionate people deserve the best of rewards – and iPhone seems like a gadget our Profy readers will be very happy to have. So what should you do now to be among the first owners of iPhone? First of all, make sure you will be able to get and use your prize. In the US it means that you need to be willing to switch to AT&T unless you are the carrier's subscriber already. In other countries the situation is more complicated and you will need to find out if iPhones will be sold in your country by the time the competition is over on September 9 so that we could buy and send one to you.

And here comes the competition itself. It is actually as simple as guest blogging – something many bloggers often do absolutely for free without expecting any reward but additional exposure. So simply write a guest post about Web 2.0 (news, commentary, tips, ranting about your personal Web 2.0 experience, etc.) for Profy and send it to iphone@profy.com. If your post is found Profy-worthy and is qualified for the competition, we will let you know when the post is published. So you are in the competition!

Now how will we choose the winner? In order to be as unbiased as possible we will only use actual facts to determine the winner: the post that provokes the most animated discussion and thus gets the highest number of comments within the first 2 weeks after its publication will win. In the event two (or more) posts from guest authors will get the equal number of comments we will held a poll for our readers to vote on the post they think is the best. Just a few notes:

• Trackbacks are counted as comments and are included in the total number of comments.
• We will watch IPs of commentator carefully so don't try to cheat – if we see the same IPs for different user names, the post will be disqualified. So please, do not try to talk to yourself.
• When sending a guest post to iphone@profy.com do not forget to include tags for the post, trackback URLs if you link to another blog's posts, images (if required) and a brief description of yourself.
• If you choose to spam every single person on Earth to attract readers' attention to your candidate post and we receive complaints about such behavior (or are otherwise informed of your illegal promotional behavior) the post will be disqualified. We believe fair competition should be fair!

The first round of the competition starts today, June 18, 2007 and submitted posts will be published until Sunday, July 1 (on July 2^nd the next round of the competition will begin for another iPhone). For those posts published on Sunday, July 1 the competition will be over exactly 2 weeks after the publication date, i.e. on Sunday, July 15. Thus on Monday, July 16 we will name our first winner (unless a poll is needed to determine the winner). Two weeks later (July 30) we will announce the winner in the second round of the competition. And so on until September 9^th, when we name the winner in the final, fifth round of the Profy iPhone competition.

So start now, enter the competition and spread the word – make people talk and get your very own iPhone for free!
