Beginning Friday, March 13th, Flixster is sponsoring the Spring Break Wiki Contest. This contest is open to all Experts, so get ready to Wiki. The top six contributors will be awarded some awesome prizes and limited-edition trophies for their profiles, so your odds are pretty good.

WHO: All Flixster Experts presently in good standing. (I.e. you?ve made the basic edits to your own actor pages. Check the FAQ for details.)

WHAT: It's an edit-off to the death! (er... not really). In short: whoever puts up the most words win!

You've been around the Flixster block a couple times. You know that Flixster, with our good friends at WetPaint, allows its users to add to every actor and director page on the site using the WYSIWYG EasyEdit buttons. For this contest, we?ve picked out a list of actors pages for you to focus on. (These actors don?t have much info added yet, so there?s plenty of room for your brilliant additions.) On top of that, if you feel like you want to spruce up the pages of the actors you presently are an Expert for, we will count that too. :)

WHY: We all love Flixster and we love Wiki'ing! This is a perfect chance to strut your stuff and share what you know about some actors whose pages are a little boring right now.

PRIZES!!1! - 6 chances for some big coin and profile bling

GOLD (1 awarded): $150 Amazon Gift Certificate + The one-of-a-kind Grand Prize Gold Spring Break Wiki Trophy on your Flixster profile

SILVER (2 awarded): $100 Amazon Gift Certificate + The Silver Spring Break Wiki Trophy on your Flixster profile

BRONZE (3 awarded): $50 Amazon Gift Certificate + The Bronze Spring Break Wiki Trophy on your Flixster profile

(For our winning non-U.S. friends, we will remit send a certificate in the equivalent value of your currency from your local Amazon store or similar online retailer.)

Prizes will be awarded on the following basis: Most word contributions. Simply put,: WORDS added of your own originally authored, accurate actor information.
