Spring is here, though many of us are still very wintered.\u00a0 To cheer up readers, I’m conducting a new SolidWorks Contest for April 2010.\u00a0 Throughout April, I will tweet links from my fcsuper Twitter <\/a>account.\u00a0 Each link will be to an older or new SolidWorks Legion article (hereby called “linked article”).\u00a0 To enter this contest, simply post at least one new comment on each of the these linked articles.\u00a0 Though not required, I request that comments be on-topic with the linked article.\u00a0 Every person that posts\u00a0at least one\u00a0new comment\u00a0to a linked article will have one entry added into a random drawing that will take place by May 4, 2010.\u00a0 The drawing will be for three places, with winning entries picked randomly in the following order.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First place: Voucher for <\/strong>CSWP test of the winner’s choice (CSWE excluded).<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Second place: <\/strong>Sir Richard Branson’s book Business Stripped Bare Adventures of a Global Entrepreneur<\/em> (The book has a reproduced autograph by Branson.\u00a0 I cannot determine the method used to reproduce the signature.\u00a0 Even still, it’s pretty cool.)<\/strong> <\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Third place: <\/strong>Hot-cold insulated SolidWorks mug.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Since I’m going to do an actual random drawing for this contest, I’m taking the rule thing seriously.\u00a0 Here are additional rules.\u00a0 Maximum number of entries per person will be limited to the total number of linked articles within the month of April 2010.\u00a0 Odds of winning will be determined by the total number of eligible entries.\u00a0 Entries to this contest will not be accepted after April 30, 2010.\u00a0 Limit one entry per person for each linked article, regardless to how many times the article is mentioned on Twitter, and regardless to the number of additional comments made on that same article.\u00a0 Only comments left on SolidWorks Legion website for the linked articles are eligible as entries.\u00a0 By entering this contest, you agree to accept and follow all contest rules and you accept my decisions regarding this contest as final.\u00a0 Each person that enters this contest is responsible for their<\/span> own ability to use the prize if they win.\u00a0\u00a0I reserve the right to remove and disqualify any comments as entries for being spam, hostile or otherwise inappropriate.\u00a0 I reserve the right to post links to other articles on other websites.\u00a0 Links to articles that are not on SolidWorks Legion are not part of this contest.\u00a0 Links by anyone else other than me (via my twitter account) are not part of this contest, even if those links are to SolidWorks Legion articles.\u00a0 For a comment to quality as an entry, it\u00a0must have a\u00a0time and date stamp (as issued by\u00a0SolidWorks Legion website) that shows it was posted after the associated tweet, and\u00a0it must include the person’s\u00a0email (as entered into the comment\u00a0fields).\u00a0 Each entry to be represented by a piece of paper that has the same\u00a0dimensions +\/-10% to all other entries.\u00a0 All entries will be\u00a0collected in some\u00a0sort of bowl or similar container.\u00a0 Winners\u00a0will be randomly hand drawn from the container.\u00a0 Each person may only win one prize in this contest.\u00a0 If a person has won one prize and one of their entries is drawn again,\u00a0the drawing\u00a0for that place will continue until a different person’s entry is picked.\u00a0 If a person is unable to post a comment for whatever reason, they may email <\/a>me with the\u00a0subject line “SolidWorks Legion Contest Entry” and a message stating<\/span> the linked article’s title in lieu\u00a0of a comment.\u00a0 Winners will be announced during the month of\u00a0May 2010 on SolidWorks Legion.\u00a0 Each winner will also be contacted separately via email during the month of May 2010.\u00a0 Winners will have until the end of June 31, 2010<\/span> to reply to the notification email.\u00a0 If no response from a winner is received by me, regardless to the reason, that winner forfeits the prize and it will not be re-issued or substituted.\u00a0 Prizes will not be substituted nor exchanged for other prizes.\u00a0 If the winner of the CSWP test does not use their CSWP test voucher before it expires, the winner forfeits that prize and it will not be re-issued or substituted.\u00a0 The value for each prize is equal to the amount I paid for each (which is $0.00).\u00a0 I will cover shipping costs for prizes sent to\u00a0U.S.A. domestic destinations.\u00a0 Shipping costs for an international shipment will be the responsibility of the winner.\u00a0 Any attempt by any individual to game contest rules for unfair advantage or to act in a way that is not in the spirit of this contest will forfeit their entries and any other stakes in this contest.\u00a0 Employees of Dassault Systemes, any of its subsidiaries and any software resellers are not eligible to win.\u00a0 Any comments left on SolidWorks Legion by such persons do not count as entries for this contest.\u00a0 This article (the one that you are reading right now) counts as the first entry opportunity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
