Commenting the post may assist in reaching the criteria for the promotion.

Judging/Voting: If we offer a prize for a single contestant, then there will be a post that states this. The criteria for judging/voting will be 2 employees choosing the best response to the post. These 2 judges will be selected internally. No immediate family member of the judges will be accepted as winners to the contest.
