Associated Content's Ultimate Call for Content(TM)

One-day-only Contest Kicks Off Internet Week New York on Tuesday, June 3, 2008
at 9AM ET; Online Content Platform Will Award $5,000 to Best Entry on 'What's
Next?'

NEW YORK, May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Do you think you know what the next BIG
thing will be next year, and want to make money while explaining it to the
world? To kick off New York's Internet Week 2008, Associated Content
(http://www.associatedcontent.com), the Internet's leading open content
platform to pay contributors cash for quality content, will host its biggest
Call for Content(TM) yet.
On Tuesday, June 3, 2008 at 9 a.m. ET, interested participants can log
online to AssociatedContent.com to enter Associated Content's Ultimate Call
for Content(TM) at http://www.associatedcontent.com/internetweek.
Through the company's unique Call for Content(TM) system, any registered
contributor can get the assignment, claim the call, publish their content on
the topic of "What's Next?" for the next year, and then be considered to win a
$5,000 cash prize for the best contribution.
Registered contributors can pick virtually any topic or subject they have
enthusiasm or expertise in (from gadgets to gardening). The assignment will be
to 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. It can be a person, a
destination, an event, a technology, a trend, even a "how-to" -- any unique
topic they think will break through with people in a new way in the next year.
Deadline for entries is midnight. An expert panel of judges, including
Rachel Sklar (Media & "Eat The Press" Editor for the Huffington Post) and Omar
Wasow (technology analyst and co-founder of Blackplanet.com), will judge the
selected finalists and announce a winner on Tuesday, June 10, 2008, the final
day of Internet Week. The winning entry will win a $5,000 cash prize from
Associated Content. Every qualifying entry will be published on
AssociatedContent.com and be eligible for cash "performance payments."
