21 July 08 You are probably more than aware of the Amazee contest by now (if not check out the details after the break!) and so you might be interested in a project that wants to change the rules...

It’s called "Power to the Amazee users" and it is taking social collaboration to the next level. The aim is to win the contest – and thus the prize money – and then use the tools of Amazee and principles of social collaboration to decide where the prize money goes! Thus, removing hierarchy and giving power to the Amazee users. We love this project!

Start your project with Amazee now and win as many project members and fans as possible until 31 August 2008!
If your project or your alliance belongs to the 3 finalists on 31 August 2008 Amazee may support it with up to € 10'000. How do you get there? Master the following steps after registration and the project set-up:

The 50 best projects or alliances
31 July 2008: The 50 Amazee projects or alliances that have the best project rating on this day make it to the next round.

The 3 biggest projects or alliances
31 August 2008: From the 50 pre-selected projects or alliances, the 3 projects or alliances make it to the final that have most (active or passive) project members on this day (for alliances: most members in allied projects, each member counts only once).

The final
1-5 September 2008: In the final the 3 selected projects or alliances will be judged by an independent jury. The Jury will decide how the € 10'000 will be split between the 3 projects or alliances.
