Buzz Contest: The Voting Mikamon
With this issue of the Buzz being published, it means that the first part of your Freelance Article Competition is over. All articles that have been submitted are published in this issue. The end of the first part means the start of the second part. This week, the Buzz Team will get together and select the three articles they like best. However, the Buzz would also like to ask you, the reader, a favor.

What favor do we require, you might ask. Well, it's pretty simple. Apart from the prices the Buzz Team will award, there is also a grand prize of $100,000,000 for the highest rated Freelance Article. What the Buzz would like you to do is read through all articles carefully, minding everything you think is important in an article. Examples could be grammar and punctuation, but also choice of subject, the length of the article or style, you name it. Please go over each article while keeping in mind what you think is important and rate each article after you've read all of them.

At the end of the coming week, right before the Buzz is published, all ratings will be checked and the writer of the highest rated article will be declared the winner. The winners the Buzz Team selected will be in that same article. Keep in mind that one article can win both a Buzz Team awarded price and the price the readers award. In order to remind everyone what they are competing for, the prizes are listed below:

1st prize: $200,000,000
2nd prize: $150,000,000
3rd prize: $50,000,000

Highest rated article will win $100,000,000

The Buzz would like to thank every writer that has submitted a freelance article for this contest. Hopefully we will keep seeing these articles, as they can serve many purposes. For now, the Buzz wishes each and every one of them the best of luck in the contest.
