As many of you know, my firm is sponsoring Utah Genius.  These are the people that get creative and make our state economy work.  We think it is about time that we recognize the people and creativity behind our state and certify each as a Utah Genius.  If you do too, we ask you to RSVP and support the event.

In that vein, I think it would be fun to see how many of you out there could guess 10 of the winners, excluding city awards.  To make it interesting, my firm has agreed to throw in $50 in Best Buy giftcard(s) and a ticket to the Utah Genius award ceremony.  My firm will check the results over the weekend and I'll give a follow-up post about the winner.

That said, here are the rules:

1. Must be over 18
2. No one employed by a Utah Genius sponsor may win
3. Post your guess of 10 winners in the comments below (they can be patentees and/or trademark registrants - cities do not count for this).  They can be in any order.
4. Your guess cannot be more than 10 winners 
5. Your email address you give when commenting must be correct or we will not be able to contact you, but do not put your email address in the post itself.  We won't sell or otherwise abuse your email
6. You will have 24 hours to reply to a message saying that you win or we will give the prize to the next winner
7. We are not responsible for any interruptions in service ... we take the post logging as absolute
8. If for some reason, we make a mistake, your remedy is simply an apology from us ... we'll try not to make one
9. Do not email your guess.  Only comments posted below are considered entries.
10. See UtahGenius.com for information about what we consider a winner.  However, do not list cities as guesses, only the other categories.  Your guesses may come from any of the other categories besides cities.
11. You may enter more than once, but don't spam me.  If you enter more than 10 guesses, we may choose to ban you.

Good Luck!
