Opera Turbo reaction. Just had to do this, sorry :-)

The contest will roll out in two phases. For the first one, due on October 24, participants must provide a 2-page executive summary of their project that should stay within a $10,000 budget. Mozilla will choose which proposals advance to the next phase, and participants will have until December 5 to submit detailed descriptions that will be presented to the community for final voting.

The winner will be announced on December 19, and will have the opportunity to execute and lead his project and get a $3000 prize.
