There were no winners to last month's contest, in fact, sadly there were no entries. I think it's because the contest -- which was about building mini-case studies to emphasize multiple realities -- required a bit of work. OK I get the message, contests are supposed to be fun, not hard work! So this month's contest is fun and easy -- yet related to a current market trend.
