This looks good Joseph.  A great cause.

This sounds fantastic!  Glad to see something so innovative arrive at the THF.  However, the page describes that the contest runs indefinitely.  I understand the point to a certain degree but I think it should have a contest deadline as all others do.  The open-end of this contest with everyone's five dollars sitting there doesn't seem to have the accountability it needs.  A "a final date by" would seem much better and therefore a winner's announcement date would be fitting as well.  Possibly, January 1st, 2013 or something somewhat distant in order to obtain enough offerings?

Just pondering here.
