My two cents
I have submitted my application of The Malaysian Dotcom Youth Search too (yes, I am under 30 :P).
I had hard time to fill up the application form, which has very strict rules on number of words used: description of site note more than 3 words, answer “how is your site considered innovative?” in 15 words.
Trust me, I spent half an hour to edit the words!
If you have a website, forum, blog, or school/college website project, you should submit yours too. Who knows, you might be the winner? The submission is free, anyway. Join now!
Why the restriction regarding 30 years old? I don’tt know, but it sounds a little discriminatory… and yes, I am 32 years old.
Crap, I’m under 18
i am 20,…………hahahaha!!!!! still young
Would’ve given other participants a run for their money but I’m 32 – looks like no more considered ‘youth’. :(
I am in…thanks….
hey i voted for you too =) you have nice content and good potential full time blogger

hey is it just click on the vote me on top right then consider voted?
@saimatkong: i think so :)
you know, most of the blogs listed are somehow related to tech, comp and make money online. mine is the odd one.
I have join, but having curiosity… only 1 winner win the prize, and every one are promoting their website… we promote for them free~ what a good idea they have~
and now we dono our stat, no transparency at all~ who know at the end their friend or relative become the winner~
It will be interesting to see which blog emerges as winners =)
