One of the fundamental ideals that Packt subscribes to is the belief that Open Source should be promoted, supported, and sustained whenever and however possible. With the Open Source Project Royalty Scheme successfully providing sustainable revenues for projects since 2004, Packt is now excited to announce a further open source initiative; the Open Source CMS Award.

The Packt Open Source Content Management System Award is designed to encourage, support, recognize and reward an Open Source Content Management System (CMS) that has been selected by a panel of judges and visitors to www.PacktPub.com.

If you're a fan of a particular CMS or if you're part of a CMS project team, then we're looking for your nominations. We want to compile a list of open source Content Management Systems that will be put forward to win $5,000 and the title of Packt Open Source CMS, 2006. The five CMS's that receive the most nominations will go forward to the final round. First runner-up and second runner-up will not go away empty handed, taking away $3,000 and $2,000 respectively.

Make your nomination here: www.PacktPub.com/Nominations
