Summer '97: A Midsummer Night's Dream
Spring '97: eXplore Easter
Winter '96: eXplore Xmas
The members of our public IE-HTML mailing list have held a series of contests to demonstrate their ability to create exciting and effective Web sites using features of Internet Explorer. Members create special sites for each contest, and the list membership votes for their favorite sites. Members enter these contests primarily for the fun of demonstrating what they have learned, in the spirit exhibited in the normal daily mailing list discussions. However, winners do receive prizes contributed by list members and anonymous donors. These contests are run by the list members, and are not sponsored by Microsoft. Occasionally the Site Builder Network will invite contest winners to submit articles describing particularly innovative aspects of their sites.
