Again, I’ll try to keep instructions brief. Three important things:
- For your S.M.A.R.T. goal I am going from the judging criteria I posted yesterday for eliminations. I hope I don’t have to eliminate anyone so I hope you read them!
- For the other tasks, they will be considered valid so long as it is apparent you did the task and gave a complete answer. If it’s apparent you did NOT do the task you will be eliminated.
- It is really, really, REALLY important that you NOT pay attention to the number in the middle of the widget this time. It has NOTHING to do with the number of people who have submitted entries. Also remember that in Leg #1, 12 semi-finalists came from #51 and above (and two of you posted on Facebook that you thought you were out of the running). Bottom line: No matter what, TURN IN YOUR REPORT BACK! If you're in it to win it, follow through!
Not to sound like a broken record but all entries will be validated and the first 25 valid entries will move on to the final leg of the competition, the grand prize drawing!
How to tell if your entry went through completely
There are four questions, each has 1 entry assigned to it. If you answered all four questions, on the right hand side of the widget you should see "4/4 entries earned." If you do, you're all set. If you see any less than 4, go back and submit what you are missing! NOTE: For the purposes of the competition, your "time of entry" will be the time you submitted your last question on the widget (and it's time stamped), so please try to answer all the questions at the same time and then submit it all!
What happens now?

The list minion and I will validate the responses as stated above. The list of the 25 finalists will come out no later than 9 p.m. EST tonight (although it may be earlier – I will post as soon as it’s finalized!).
The grand prize drawing will be a random drawing of the 25 finalists. So for now you’ve done all you can do! The grand prize winner will be announced at 6 p.m. EST. Sunday, March 9!
Good luck everyone!
