7. If an entry doesn't follow all rules, it will be disqualified.

9. Winners will be determined by the judges which include me and some folks from the voiceshares team.

The pot

The first prize is 30 voiceshare and the prize for the runner up is 15 voiceshare provided by the generous voiceshares team.

I have chipped in an additional 3 SBD for the winner and 2 SBD for the runner up.
