Win share of $100,000 in Optus support & 1/100+ HP Netbooks

For your business' chance to win a share of $100,000 in support from Optus, click Enter Now below. (But if you're in I.T., we're assuming you could have worked that out.)

The competition has two rounds.

Round 1.0 - I.T. Innovation.

To win a share of $100,000 in support for your business, you'll be judged on the quality of your entry - including how you overcame your biggest I.T. Challenge, and how innovative your I.T. team was in facing it. Remember, we're looking for a team that has used technology and originality to transform their business.

But you can also be judged on how popular you are. (Harsh, we know.) The winner of the Popular Vote gets an HP Netbook, so make sure you share your entry on Facebook with friends, family and colleagues. We've even included a special Supporters Pack to give your colleagues a nudge.

Entries close 15 January 2011, then our distinguished panel of judges will assess your entry. We'll judge small to medium sized business (less than 200 employees) and large business (more than 200 employees) separately.

Round 2.0 - The 'Ultimate Challenge'.

From Round 1, we'll choose nine finalists to attend the Ultimate Sporting Challenge. It will happen in Melbourne on Friday 11 February 2011.

By then we'll know you're handy with a hard drive, so this is your chance to test yourself in a different arena entirely.

You'll get to return a serve from Aussie tennis great Alicia Molik, face Wallaby Matt Giteau, or go up against Carlton Captain and Brownlow Medallist Chris Judd ... so let's just say it won't be your typical day in the office.

If you're on the I.T. Team, enter here for your business' chance to win a share of $100,000 in support from Optus and an HP Netbook for yourself. If you're not in I.T., then make sure you share it with someone who is.
