I stole the rules from the last contest but I'm unable to match the prize's, it should be fun and informative anyway.
Article Contest 
We did a contest like this in Feb '07 and it was a great success. We've added a lot of useful information to the article section of OrchidBoard. About time we do this again.
Subject: Anything related to the Orchid Hobby
Submission: Any time before Sunday Feb 28, 2010 midnight.
(if you'd like to sponsor a prize, contact me)
While sponsor's are still coming in the prize's may be rearranged as needed.
Submit an article/story about any aspect of Orchid growing. Your article must be about something that the general orchid enthusiast will find useful.
Minimum of 500 words (roughly one page typed), the use of pictures and illustrations is strongly encouraged.
Use of proper grammar and spelling is a must.
This must be your original work and submission of someone else's article from the internet will result in your immediate disqualification and possibly ... loads of embarrassment.
If you need help with resizing of images or format, let me know and I'll help you out.
Once you have an article with which you're satisfied, publish it by going to "
Publish Article" on the menu on the left.
I
strongly suggest you write it completely on your computer then copy and paste with some edits.
Please host any pictures used in the article in our gallery Do not use photos which are not in the OB Gallery.

Voting for best article will begin shortly after the deadline.
Have fun and Good luck!

Contest rules.
1. Deadline February 28, 2010
2. Recommended width of pictures inside the articles is 320px - of course, the smaller picture can be a hyperlink to a larger picture
3. This must be your own work. Use of other or copyright material will result in immediate disqualification
4. Since all submitted articles will be featured on the main page of OrchidBoard, your article may be formatted after it is posted in order to make it look better. Content will not be altered.
5. If you submit more than 1 article, all articles will be considered for a prize, but you may only win once. Next prize goes to the runner up (not your 2nd or 3rd article). In other words, the more articles you write, the higher the chance of winning a prize.
Enough RULES, Have FUN & GOOD LUCK!
