Through 'Most Valuable Members of the Year' contest, the web hosting forum will award its five members with prizes worth $5,000.

HostingDiscussion.com, a web hosting community, yesterday announced that it has named five of its members as winners in a forum contest.

The contest honors members of the year by giving away $5,000 in cash and prizes. Five winners, as decided by community leaders, will share a pool of amazing prizes of nearly $5,000 in value. Prizes include cash, services and products from well established Internet companies, including HostingDiscussion.com, says the company.

The 2005 'End-of-Year Most Valuable Member' contest is the biggest contest HostingDiscussion.com has ever run. Says Community Director, Artashes Toumanov, “It was not a conventional contest found on many other forums where members compete based on the number of posts members make. This one was content-driven.
