And the Guru early birds are showing the way!
For Visio, please add your article to the Miscellaneous category. Thanks!
Could this be the month that we see the best ever TechNet article in the WORLD!!?
You could be thinking it right now words of wisdom that enrich people's lives!
Technical truths and wise words of widgets and wizardry!
So many upper eyes within Microsoft adjudicate this competition, yet so few stumble on this small community and realise the potential of getting their name known in such circles!
Some of our biggest community voices and many MVPs have passed through these halls, on their way to fame and fortune.
Come and see who is making waves in all your favourite technologies.
Maybe it will be you!
All you have to do is add an article to TechNet Wiki from your own specialist field. Something that fits into one of the categories listed on the submissions page. Copy in your own blog posts, a forum solution, a white paper, or just something you had to solve for your own day's work today.
Drop us some nifty knowledge, or superb snippets, and become MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY GURU OF THE MONTH!
This is an official Microsoft TechNet recognition, where people such as yourselves can truly get noticed!
HOW TO WIN

2) Add a link to it on THIS WIKI COMPETITION PAGE (so we know you've contributed)
3) Every month, we will highlight your contributions, and select a "Guru of the Month" in each technology.
If you win, we will sing your praises in blogs and forums, similar to the weekly contributor awards. Once "on our radar" and making your mark, you will probably be interviewed for your greatness, and maybe eventually even invited into other inner TechNet/MSDN circles!
