Widget comp vs. Widget World Cup

So you've seen the announcement of the Widget World Cup. You're probably wondering "WTF?!? Do I have to enter more than once? Do I have to do twice the work? What's up, man?"
The answer is nope.
Let me first explain the differences. The My Opera widget competition is to get developers like Benjamin and Johnnysaucepn creating cool widgets. The Widget World Cup is to show people how fun and useful they are. So they work together. And since they're related, we had to make submitting for both really easy.
And we did.
[Charlton-Heston-as-Moses voice]From this moment forward, you need only select your country when uploading widgets. You will be entered in both competitions automatically. Let my people upload [/Charlton-Heston-as-Moses voice]
But what if you already made a widget and want to enter? No sweat. You need to do three things, all really easy.
1. Edit your widget (log on and upload an edited version of your widget or just upload the same one)
2. Specify your country
3. Write an email to our prize jury explaining why you deserve to be Ms. America.
Just kidding...
3. Write an email to widgetcomp@opera.com and let us know the widget and country. This is to help us keep track of everything.
So keep making widgets and tell you friends to try them out. You could walk away with all our cool prizes and some cash. If I only knew a little javascript, I'd give you guys a run for your money. Instead you can just make a run at ours.
The answer is nope.
