Thanks to everyone who participated in our Web 2.0 Expo photo contest on Twitter! We really enjoyed reading your captions, and there were some great entries. Congratulations to our two winners, who will be enjoying a Full Pass to the Expo and a free domain name:

@DavidTouchette: Local Sunrise applications for .MOON will be awarded to Martians with valid trademarks only.

@webwgt: The .co era is coming, the .moon era is next

Honourable mentions

Because there were so many other great ones, we’ve put together a list of “honourable mentions”. We really liked these:

• @panicmanual: In space, nobody can hear you register a domain
• @kellie: To .infinity and beyond!
• @smichm: Anything is possible when your man smells like the service guy. I’m on the moon
• @obaumer: Domains don’t have to be rocket science
• @stevecomrie: Registering domain names and faking moon landings since January 2000

You can still attend!

Just because the contest is over doesn’t mean you can’t come to the Expo – don’t forget, you can still register for a free Expo Hall Pass using the code websf10coe at the Web 2.0 Expo registration site. Again, thank you all for entering our contest, and keep an eye out for more in the future!

Our team is getting ready to exhibit at Web 2.0 Expo San Francisco (May 3-6) and we’d like you to join us there! We have two full conference passes that we’d like to give away to the folks with the two best captions for the photo below.

These passes are normally priced at $1745 each, but we’re giving them away for free! The Web 2.0 Expo is a multi-track conference bringing together people, ideas, and companies to foster stronger Web 2.0 communities. As well, our very own Ken Schafer will be speaking at the conference about “My Name Is URL – Namespaces & Revenue Models“.

With a Full Pass, you’ll get access to:

• The Expo Hall and all events there
• All sessions and keynote speakers
• Any of the workshops on Monday, May 3
• All networking events
• Lunches
• Web2Open
• Birds of a Feather networking sessions
• All sorts of cool swag

Here’s how you could win:

1. Think up a really witty/sentimental/unique caption for the photo above (hint: Our mascot the Service Guy is in it)
2. Tweet your caption to @OpenSRS, along with the hashtag #w2e. The best two captions will win.
3. We’ll announce the winners on April 9 on Twitter, as well as notify them directly via direct message.

We do have just a few guidelines:

• Keep it clean, please
• Anyone can enter
• You can enter as many times as you like
• Remember to use the hashtag in your entry
• The winners must register with their codes before April 19, 2010
• You can view the full terms and conditions here

Just interested in dropping by the exhibition hall (and seeing the keynotes) at Web 2.0 Expo San Francisco?  Visit our events page for a free expo only pass registration code.  If you go, please drop by our booth (#527) to say hi.

Good luck!

Update: We’ve already received a lot of great entries! You can see them using this Twitter search. May the best caption win!

Update: Elliot Noss (@enoss) has just announced that he will be giving the winners a free domain name!
