This contest closes on October 15th, but there are going to be Early-Bird prizes

== What do I have to do? ==
<html>

Between now and October 15th 2008 – make a qualifying contribution to the <a href="http://toonz.ca/bose/wiki"
target="_blank">Bose L1® Encyclopedia, FAQ and wiki</a> and your name will be
entered in the draw for a prize. A contribution is something you have written that
would be of interest to L1® owners or it could be a review of your favourite gear
that you use with your L1®. The connection, of course, is the L1®.
<br>
<br>
As long as your article is about something you do with or connect to an L1®, it
is welcome. Here are some ideas to get you started.<ul type="square">

</li>
<li>Headset Microphones (observations, recommendations, tips and tricks)
</li>
<li>Setting the Stage<ul>
    <li> working with tiny stages</li>
    <li>negotiating for space</li>
    <li>working with sub-optimal placement</li>

    anything non-traditional that could be duplicated in other parts of the country
    that support the Audience, the Musicians, the Community.<br>
    
</li>
<li>Out of the Box (suggestions for new owners)<br>
</li>
<li>Gear reviews<br>
    Pick your favourite instrument or other input to your L1®, tell us about what you
    like, don’t like, how you connect it, how you use it, why you got it and if you
    would do it again.  Try this </html>[[Review Template]]<html> to get you started.

    around your L1®<ul>

<br>
<li>To contribute – you can write an article OR add to one and you must publish it in
    the <a href="http://toonz.ca/bose/wiki" target="_blank">Bose L1® Encyclopedia, FAQ and
        wiki</a>.<br>
    <br>

<li>Note: Once you put an article in the wiki, it can and probably will be edited by
    someone else.
    <br>
    <br>
</li>
<li>Please keep a copy of articles you put in the wiki. A good strategy is to create
    the article in a text editor and then copy/paste it into the wiki. Then make your
