Beginning Friday, September 24th, Flixster is sponsoring the Fall Wiki Contest. This contest is open to all Experts wanting to wiki away to their hearts content! The top six contributors will be awarded some super cool prizes and limited-edition trophies for their profiles, so your odds of winning are really good! Plus, this contest marks the roll-out of all our new Expert features, but more on that in the coming days ;)

WHAT: Another Edit Contest! (duh) :). Whoever adds the most words wins!

WHEN: The contest begins on FRIDAY, September 25th at 12:00 noon Pacific Time and runs through MONDAY, October 26th at 12:00 noon Pacific Time.

WHO: All Flixster Experts presently in good standing. (I.e. you’ve made the basic edits to your own actor pages. Check the FAQ for details.)

You know that Flixster, with our good friends at WetPaint, allows its users to add to every actor and director page on the site using the WYSIWYG EasyEdit buttons. For this contest we encourage our Experts to work on pages that don't have much info yet. If you have noticed a page or two that needs a bit of help this is the perfect time to spruce it up! Of course, your own pages (or any on Flixster) are fair game as well. :)

WHY: We love to Wiki! Plus, we have set you up with tons of cool prizes! And to top it off this will be the first Flixster Expert Contest that will be utilizing our reaaaally cool new features to make this contest the best one yet! (There will be more on that in a couple days).
