Today I give you the results of the open contest for the best new article written on specific topics of interest for eEgyptian public. I also bring you the news on team of eEgyptian Ministry of Information and finaly, present to you its official org and newspapers.

There have been 5 articles applied for the contest, and they have covered the following topics:

2. Original song (on eEgypt, or spring, or any other song related to eRepublik, depending on your inspiration)
3. European Battlefields or Balkan Battles these days.

The articles are as follows:

Securing Middle Eastern Freedom, by Akhraziel

There was also an out of competition translation article by Jerry1998 (from Greek to English):
Translation Of A Greek Article That I believe It Worths To Be Read by Jerry1998
of this original article: O Kypcom χθες μοιραζε προμηθειες απο δωρεες. Ερωτηση: Aξιζε το κοπο;

Here are the results of the competition:

The 3rd place goes to Archangel Uriel for the article:
Ode to Egypt (EN/HE/RU)
The article got 26 votes.
As the article was published in Archangel Uriel's newspapers first, there will not be any financial reward for Archangel Uriel, but only the glory to the Poet!

However, as voice contributed by sending her translation to Arabic of the Ode to Egypt, she won 10 EGP for the translation of the Ode to Egypt.

The 2nd place goes to Akhraziel for the article:
Securing Middle Eastern Freedom
The article got 75 votes and Akhraziel won 20 EGP for this article.

The 1st place goes to Saša Broz (pseudonym) for the articles:
The Turn of the Tide in the Balkans (177 votes)
and
Day 1234 - Operation LIBERTY! (129 votes)

Saša Broz won the first prize and 30 EGP. Here I have to mention that Saša Broz is a pseudonym of the journalist, as she wanted to stay anonymous. (The real data about this player is familiar to me as the Minister of Information.)

I want to congratulate to all who have participated in the contest! As the rewards are only symbolic and the glory and the fame is what lasts, I hope this would encourage our writers for writing new articles soon! And I invite all our readers to subscribe, to read more good articles and to give it a try and join our next contest, which starts today!
