The Game Show Congress is requesting submissions of Jeopardy! style answer and question categories for an upcoming tournament. Each person that submits a package of one Jeopardy category, one Double Jeopardy category, and one Final Jeopardy answer and question will receive one entry into a prize drawing. There will be two awards of a complimentary registration to the Fifth Game Show Congress (value $120), and 10 awards of an official Jeopardy! water bottle (value $5). The Fifth Annual Game Show Congress (www.gameshowcongress.com), July 13-16 at the Hilton Burbank CA will host a charity Jeopardy! tournament as part of the agenda. Fundraising will be for the AIDS Research Alliance of America (www.aidsresearch.org) and persons who collect the largest amount of donation pledges to that organization will get a spot to compete --- full tournament rules will be posted soon. HOW TO ENTER: 1. Create two categories of answers (and their associated questions), in an ascending order of difficulty. The category should be related in some manner estabished by a title of the category, which can be a decription or perhaps a pun or other word play relative to the contents. Categories may be similar to those which have been broadcast, but should have unique content - any entry that is determined to be too similar to one broadcast will not be accepted. IMPORTANT: Each answer/question combination MUST be followed by a reference to the source of the information. References must be available via the internet or via reference to materials available to the public at a university or college library accredited by the American Library Association (in the former case please provide URL, in the later case please list the specific library where the reference materials were obtained including catalog reference). 2. Create one final Jeopardy answer and question. Again list the source for related facts. 3. On or before MAY 15, 2006, submit your group of 2 categories of 5 answers, questions, and references and Final Jeopardy style answer, question, and reference, along with your name, postal address, contact telephone and electronic mail address by electronic mail to gameshow AT comcast.net Or via postal mail to Game Show Congress, Post Office Box 3037, Boulder, Colorado 80307. Individuals may enter as often as they wish. Submissions will be acknowledged by electronic mail whether they were received by that method or by postal mail and become property of the Game Show Congress after submission. Should a person submitting material be identified as a participant in the charity tournament, those answers and questions will be deferred to games in which they are not competing. 4. The in-kind value of entries to this contest will be considered as $11 for any accounting or tax purposes. The drawing from among all entries to the contest will occur on June 1, 2006 and the winners will be immediately notified by electronic mail. The value of first prizes are $120 each and include conference registration only with no provision of travel stipend. The value of second prizes is $5 and includes shipping by US Postal Service to the winners address. 5. The Game Show Congress is not affiliated with Sony Pictures Television and does not have any influence towards participation either as a contestant or writer for the broadcast television show. Questions regarding this charity contest or the Game Show Congress may be directed via electronic mail to gameshow AT comcast.net Or via postal mail to Game Show Congress, Post Office Box 3037, Boulder, Colorado 80307.
