THE GREAT SPELL CHECK CHALLENGE

Austin, Texas. February 9, 2006.

Today, Bob Wood, President of Internet-Marketing-Advisors, announced the creation of the first of a series of competitions to be held in successive years: The Great Spell Check Challenge in which participants are asked to create a 100 word (minimum) story which remains both coherent and highly creative while using nothing but UNRECOGNIZED Google spell-check words.

"I think the "the" and "a" will stymie a lot of people. It's tough to tell a story without the "grout" that hold the word tiles together," said Wood.

First prize is $1.00

"It isn't the prize, but the accomplishment," said Wood, who noted that each year Google will grow smarter and contestants will have to delve deeper into thesauruses (not recognized by Google spell check) to keep entries on track.

Entrants my post their entries as comments on this post. They should include an E-Mail address (or "Eddress" - not recognized by Google spell check) should they be declared winner.

Deadline for entries: March 31.
Entries will be judged by usage of non-recognized words, and creativity. Entries must be posted in English. No medical terms will be allowed. By entering, contestants recognize right of Bob Wood to publicize their entries in any medium.
