So what are the rules and how is a winner determined? Each participant has chosen his/her favorite charity that they are playing for. During the two month period between February 1, 2008 and March 31, 2008, each SEO will attempt to lose weight using whatever methods he or she thinks is best. On March 31st, the woman who has lost the most weight (based on a percentage of weight loss) and the man who has lost the most weight (again based on percentage) will be in a finalist face-off. On April 1st, all of you will vote and choose the winner of the challenge from those two finalists. The final winner’s charity will receive all of the sponsorship pledge funds.

Sponsors can either pledge with a site-wide ad, or pledge just for an ad on a chosen SEOs page, with pledge amounts adjusted accordingly. Regardless of where the ads are shown, all funds pledged will be combined together and be designated to the final winner’s chosen charity. If you would like to be a sponsor, please click here for pledge information.

We strongly encourage you to support all of the participants by cheering them on, letting the world know about the contest, blogging about it, and just being supportive.
