If you've entered Explain IA, please make sure you have a unique descriptive title, since voters will have to select from a list of titles and userIDs, sort of like this...
www.flickr.com/search/?q=explainia&z=m
...but without the images. If they are all called Explain IA, it will make voting tricky.
Thanks!

It's official. The group pool for Explain IA is now closed. We received more than 100 entries, and I'm truly inspired by the creativity, talent, humor, and raw enthusiasm demonstrated by our amazing participants from all over the world. Thank you!
Next week, members of the IA Institute will vote for the following awards:
Grand Prize
The grand prize of $1,000 is co-sponsored by the IA Institute and Endeca.
Best Video
The best video award of $500 is sponsored by nForm.
Best Diagram
The best diagram award of $500 is sponsored by Semantic Studios.
In the meantime, please feel free to review and discuss the entries. Voters will be instructed to consider (but not be ruled by) popularity or interestingness in their deliberations, so I encourage entrants to draw attention to their entries by blogging, tweeting, and placing advertisements in major magazines and national newspapers and on prime time TV. Good luck! And, thanks for playing!

We will begin voting later today. If you are an IA Institute member, and you do not receive an email invitation to vote in the next 24 hours, please let me know.
Also, as a point of clarification (for the grand prize, best video, and best diagram) entrants are not eligible to win multiple prizes. So, for example, if one entrant receives the most votes for both grand prize and best diagram, they will only be awarded the grand prize, and the runner-up for best diagram will win that award.
