To help promote the use of add-ons for
Firefox,
we ran an add-ons reviewing contest for a period of two months,
from February 9th, 2007 to April 9th, 2007.
Prizes for the best reviews included a Firefox T-shirt,
24 USD of music downloads and a free domain name registration.

In total 168 reviews entered the contest,
112 reviews were in Spanish and 56 in English.
One person even entered 75 reviews.
The winning reviews were picked by a jury which consisted of:
Ken Saunders,
Jackie Liu,
Marco Casteleijn and
Otto de Voogd.
Each jury member had the task of selecting the 10 best reviews and ordering
them. The best review would get 10 points, the second best 9, etc...
As there were 4 jury members the maximum points a review could get was 40.
