Hey guys, I thought the Kirupa community might be interested in participating in a little contest we’re running at the company I work for. Please check out the full contest details at: [The Official Goowy Blog](http://blogger.goowy.com/goowy_media_blog/2006/04/goowy_backgroun.html) Feel free to post any entries here and share with the rest of the community–I will be checking back regularly. Thanks and good luck! 😉 -Hart ---

Your entry was in technews also. Do not double-post please. And it had nothing to do with technews anyway. ---

Hi Ditto, Sorry, did not mean to step on any toes, just wasn’t sure where to promote our contest so I did both (actually Kirupa himself recommended posting my contest in the Technews section). I wasn’t trying to be obnoxious, so as you are a moderator, you are welcome remove the other post if you feel it is inappropriate. Thanks! Hart ---

> [@hybrid101](#): > > hey hart, why not sponsor the next contest? Hey hybrid, I already talked to Kirupa about it and we agreed that [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com) is more geared toward hosting open-ended contests rather than ones directed toward company products. So as a compromise I’m hosting this contest just in a forum post (well really a couple forums across the internet). Really the whole idea of our contest is to test the waters of the Flash community as we are really interested in making our product open for others to develop, not unlike Firefox has done with its themes and extensions. Thanks for your interest and good luck if you enter! There is no set limit to the number of winners! P.S. If anybody is interested in alpha testing Goowy’s Flash-based integrated Instant Messenger or File Storage, send an email to [comments@goowy.com](mailto:comments@goowy.com) with your goowy account name. I will hook you up.
