Anniversary Competition
Before long Planet Hunters will be one year old – we launched on December 16th 2010. It’s been an incredible journey that began with a wild idea and resulted in new planets being discovered by people from allover the world. (The site became available in Polish last week, meaning that even more people can now become planet hunters in their spare time.)
To celebrate a year of amazing citizen science we’ve decided to host a little competition! Every day until Planet Hunters’ birthday on December 16th we’re picking one random classification and that user is getting a prize! All you have to do is classify on Planet Hunters on any day until December 16th to be part of the prize draw. We’ll announce winners, once they’ve been contacted, via the blog and twitter.
Each lucky planet hunter will win either a printed anniversary poster (featuring the names of all our volunteers, see sample above) or an awesome Planet Hunters mug. We’ll get in touch using the email address associated with your Zooniverse account, with you can check in the Account section of Zooniverse Home. The random planet hunter who logs in on our actual anniversary will win a mug, poster and a bonus Yale University mug too!
Good luck and happy planet hunting!
[If you can’t wait, you can download the poster here – warning it’s a 66 MB file.]

It is greatful! I am exiting for this wonderful thing. I hope i can build my own telescope station,because there is very bright dark sky on my hometown.
Well, waiting for my fabulous prize.
It’s harder to find your name on the poster than a new planet 🙂
Nice idea. Thanks!…fc.
aww this is so cool!!
I want to apologize to you because the last Months I am too busy, and I spent long time to classify planets. Anyway I believe that I will be able to come back with “full speed”in planet hunting at the beginning of 2012
I need to win the lottery so I can set up a fantastic array of amateur planet locators and then be able to share with all my fellow Planet Hunters here at the Zoon………………………
Gracias!!! saludos a todos aquí en la tierra y a los habitantes de otros planetas también, porque si no creyéramos en ellos no estaríamos aquí haciendo esto.
Saludos desde Córdoba, Argentina.

For those who don’t win, are the items available for sale through the Zooniverse? I’d love to get a Planet Hunters mug and/or poster.
