Places will be allocated by way of a draw from those who correctly answer three BOINC and BOINC project related questions. The draw will will be made in the last week of November 2006. It will be made up of 6 sub draws each of which will be allocated to a geographic area of the world as per United Nations boundaries. The number of places allocated to each geographic area will be based upon the number of participants from those six areas according to the BOINC UK stats database. Each area will, however, get one place as a minimum. A reserve candidate will be drawn from each area and held on a reserve list. If sufficient resources are available the number of participants may be increased by drawing additional candidates.

The conference will be recorded and the edited highlights made available for Podcast to the entire BOINC community and beyond from the BOINC UK web site.

If you would like to enter the competition and have that opportunity to answer the three questions then register here from 5 October 2006 onwards. You will be alerted to the question availability by email. Other reminders and adverts will appear on project boards during the run up to the deadline for answer submissions. In the event there are fewer registrants than places avaialable then the draw will be cancelled.
