The rules are simple enough:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Create a PowerPoint 2007 presentation template that motivates and inspires.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Choose a business or education topic that you feel passionate about. Some ideas include sales, marketing, sports performance, leadership, and volunteering.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Please limit your template to 10 slides or less.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;The second contest from SlideBoom is called the &lt;a href="http://www.slideboom.com/contest2009" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;SlideBoom Presentation Contest 2009&lt;/a&gt;. They have fewer rules, but that's not always an advantage:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Introduce any concept as a presentation on business, education, career or on any other interesting subject.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;The third contest is from SlideShare, and is called the &lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/contest/fuze-tell-a-story-contest" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;Tell A Story Contest&lt;/a&gt;. They seem to be offering the best prizes!   The rules are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The presentation must be your original creation. Please do not upload the work of others. It will be disqualified.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You can enter up to 10 presentations into the contest.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Slidecasts &amp;amp; presentations having videos are also eligible for the contest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;So if you have created a cool presentation that you can share, there are at least three places that they can be uploaded to -- wish you all the best!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Categories: &lt;a href="http://www.indezine.com/misc/categories/online_presentations.html"&gt;online_presentations&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.indezine.com/misc/categories/powerpoint.html"&gt;powerpoint&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.indezine.com/misc/categories/slideshare.html"&gt;slideshare&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.indezine.com/misc/categories/templates.html"&gt;templates&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5273878-4052007155445348391?l=www.indezine.com%2Fblog'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5273878/4052007155445348391/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5273878&amp;postID=4052007155445348391' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5273878/posts/default/4052007155445348391'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5273878/posts/default/4052007155445348391'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.indezine.com/blog/2009/06/powerpoint-contests-galore.html' title='PowerPoint Contests Galore'/><author><name>Geetesh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02058721165043642980</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='07746760367586106893'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry>
