This news is the highlight of what has been a pretty lackluster work week. I'm looking forward to the entries. Thanks, AT.

It sucks that international contestants are not eligible for prizes.

I have to agree with jac7890. What's up with that?

It has nothing to do with AT, its just the laws. In Canada, for example, you have to answer a "skill testing question" to win anything. So it would be crazy complicated to deal with the different regulations of all the different countries.
I'm Canadian, so booo, but I get it.

Man! I'll be on vacation then, so I'm going to probably miss it.

Can you add a link to previous winners in this year's contest posts? Or maybe there is one and I can't see it...

Could an international contestant have R&B send a prize to a relative in the U.S.? I live in Canada too, but only temporarily...

AT Canada needs to happen.

I adore Small Cool, so I say this with love (and I suppose it will probably be deleted, but:): 1200 square feet? Why not just change the name to Non-Gargantuan Cool Contest?

Cassis - LOL. There's been another thread about that...most people have agreed anything over a 1000 sq feet is more of a luxury.
