We offered last years winner a job. He was polite enough to come in for an interview but did not bite :)

Don't they have something like:

Google's Annual SEO Competition

I guess many of WebmasterWorld fellow members would have been glad to participate ;-)

[MisterT]

I don't think Google would ever run an SEO competition.

The competition is available in five programming languages - Java, C++, C#, VB.NET and Python.

That rules me out.
