The HTL Folding Contest

Prize: EVGA P55 motherboard

Many of us have relatives, friends or even you yourself that have a disease that doesn't have a cure.
Folding is a program that uses CPU cycles or GPU to fold proteins uploaded to a database. Once completed they are analyzed and quite possibly during the analysis we may be one step closer to a cure for many things such as Cancer, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's etc.

This contest will not be based on points, we just want you to fold under the HTL member # to produce some results for a chance to find a cure.

How it will work - the HTL folding team # is 111148, you will need to fold under your HTL username and fold for our team.

To receive entries is simple, every day you produce points during the contest you will receive one entry. The contest will run for three weeks. (fold every day 21 points)

We will also have other ways to receive extra entries during the contest but in order to receive those extra points you must complete one day of folding per week.

The prize will be announced before the contest begins as well as the rules.

Get those systems ready and help HTL fold for the cure.

How to Enter:
1. Produce at least one day of points folding for HTL (111148). This is required if you want to be entered into the contest (1 entry)
2. Follow HTL on Twitter and Re-tweet our contest tweets. For each 5 tweets you forward on to your friends you will get an extra entry. We will be Tweeting up to twice a day over the entire length of the contest. MAKE SURE YOU TELL US YOUR TWITTER NAME SO WE KNOW WHO TO GIVE THE EXTRA ENTRIES (6 entries max).
