The Ultimate Call for Content Contest

$5,000.

Every day, Content Producers at Associated Content have the opportunity to go beyond their own choice of what to publish and pick up one of our many Calls for Content.

Today - in conjunction with Internet Week New York - Associated Content released its biggest call ever:

One call worth $5,000.

With a theme of "What's Next?" appropriate to Internet Week, here is the assignment:

Pick any topic or subject you have enthusiasm or expertise in. Then, project ahead to next year, and explain - in a text article, video or audio clip - why that topic will be relevant to online consumers who search for content related to whatever their interests might be.

The topic can be a person, a destination, an event, a technology, a trend, even a "how-to" - any unique topic you think will break through with people in a new way in the next year. Text submissions are limited to 400-500 words. (Video and audio must not be longer than 2 minutes.)

Submissions will be judged on a combination of quality: originality, clarity, enterprise, usefulness, discoverability and overall readability (or, for video or audio, accessible presentation).

After being reviewed by our Content Managers and, ultimately, a panel of expert judges, one content submission will earn its Content Producer a $5,000 payment. All other entries will earn Performance Payments.

If you are already a Content Producer, all you have to do is log in, claim the call from the Calls for Content on the My Account tab, create your submission and publish it through the Calls for Content system by midnight (ET) tonight.

If you are not already a Content Producer, sign up now. The first time you log in you'll be greeted by the Calls for Content - simply claim the call and submit your contest entry.
