Yahoo! users in the Philippines will have a fun new opportunity to express their creativity, passion and views online in the Meme of the Week challenge that started on April 21, 2010 and win some cool, amazing prizes. Yahoo! Philippines launched the Meme of the Week challenge which calls for users to create the most unique representation of their views on topics ranging from sports to celebrity gossip, using text, music, pictures and videos on Meme by Yahoo!.

To know more about the Meme of Yahoo!, I have a previous post entitled, "A new microblogging platform called Yahoo! Meme" (January 16, 2010). You'll get a glimpse on how Meme works and why so many people are now hooked with it.

Meme is a great way for Yahoo! users to share personalized and interactive content that goes beyond text, including while on-the-go from their mobiles.  Now, with the Meme of the Week challenge, it is also a great way to win. Aimed at fostering online creativity, the challenge will reward creators of the most popular, original and relevant posts with prizes every two weeks with iPod nanos and coveted Yahoo! premiums. The final winner will receive a grand prize of the recently-launched Apple iPad.

Participating in the competition is easy. People with a Meme account simply need to register for the Meme of the Week competition at the Meme of the Week landing page http://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/memeoftheweekph, that went live on April 18, 2010. New Meme users can sign up for an account at http://meme.yahoo.com. The competition began on April 21 and will end on June 30, 2010.
