  • Is your story compelling?

Voting will end on or about July 18, 2012, and the winners will be announced on or about August 1, 2012.

Judging Panel

    My favourite add-on is Adblock Plus, it does what it is supposed to do, that is block ads and therefore helps me to browse without wasting time. It is a great boon for me, as it saves me time by blocking the numerous ads. It also makes me feel safe as a lot of these ads, just leads to spam and clogging my laptop.It is a great great tool.
